  • Patent number: 12004676
    Abstract: A prepared for print (PFP) light-blocking element has a scoured fabric with face side and back side, and a dried and non-foamed color-masking composition on the back side at a coverage of 5-75 g/m2. This dried and non-foamed color-masking composition contains a tinting component and a film-forming polymeric binder having a Tg of less than 25° C. The light-blocking element further has a cured, crushed, and dried foamed opacifying layer disposed on the dried and non-foamed color-masking composition. The dried and non-foamed color-masking composition effectively reduces visual perception on the uncoated face side as measured by a ?E value as determined from ?L*, ?a*, and ?b* CEILAB color values, to be <2, compared to visual perception on the uncoated face side of the same treated fabric when the cured, crushed, and dried foamed opacifying layer is absent.
