Abstract: There are provided a printing paper and a printer for eliminating margins of photographs and the like by using a simple structure. After printing processing has been carried out on a sheet of a printing material, the sheet is detached from the printing material along a cut line. Namely, a print having no margins is formed. Therefore, cutting position controlling mechanisms and paper cutting mechanisms as used in conventional printers are not necessary, and the structure of the printer is thereby made simple. Accordingly, since margins can be eliminated by using a simple structure, photographic printers and the like in particular are made compact and inexpensive.

Abstract: Redetachable, self-adhesive device having a plate, the sides and/or front side of which have fastening means, if appropriate, and the rear side of which has a strip of an adhesive film which is adhesive on both sides and is adhesively attached in such a way that one end of the adhesive film protrudes beyond the plate as a grip, the adhesive film being of such a kind that the adhesive bond achieved with it can be released again by pulling, stretching the strip, characterized in that the plate (1) has at its end, or on its rear side (2) at least in the region (3A, 3B) which bears against the grip (6) of the adhesive film strip (5), low stick and slip friction with respect to the adhesive film strip (5).

Abstract: An adhesive image transfer label includes a top ply having a front surface and a back surface. The front and back surfaces of the top ply are each capable of bearing printed graphics. A release coating is applied over a selected portion of the back surface of the top ply, and a breakaway coating is applied over the release coating. The breakaway coating, like the front and back surfaces of the top ply, is capable of bearing printed graphics. An adhesive coating is applied in flood coat fashion over the label, over the back surface of the top ply and over the breakaway coating. The label provides low cost and extended text identification and decoration for a product container, as well as a coupon-type label.

Abstract: A label has a face sheet and below the face sheet a layer of cold flow adhesive. The margin of the face sheet lies outwardly beyond the margin of the cold flow adhesive, thus creating a peripheral region that is initially devoid of cold flow adhesive. Preferably, an undersurface of the face sheet has on it a firm adhesive, to one broad surface of which a polymer film is adhered, the cold flow adhesive being adhered to the other broad surface of the film. The web is formed by applying a strip of transfer adhesive to a release agent on the extended liner, die cutting the adhesive strip to form adhesive patches and an adhesive matrix surrounding the patches; removing the matrix from the liner, then applying an outer strip over the adhesive patches, with the outer strip being formed of the material for the face sheets, die cutting the outer strip around, but outwardly from, the peripheries of the patches to form face sheets and another matrix. The face sheets are ultimately printed.

Abstract: Described are label sheets of pressure sensitive labels which are useful for duplex printing applications. The labels are provided with ties to secure them in order to lessen the adverse effects of delamination and leakage of adhesive into the printer parts. They are particularly useful for avoiding these disadvantages during duplex printing which subjects the label sheet to additional manipulation and treatment, such as two heated toner fusion steps, in contrast to simplex printing. Also described are methods of duplex printing using such label sheets.

Abstract: Flame retardant, clear pressure-sensitive adhesive tape comprises clear polyether-based polyurethane backing film and clear, polyether-based polyurethane pressure sensitive adhesive coated on one side of the backing film. Flame retardant is incorporated into the polyurethane backing film and the polyurethane adhesive to render the tape substantially flame retardant without causing a loss of the substantial transparency of the tape. The tape meets the following flame retardancy requirements: maximum average burn extinguishing time of 15 seconds, maximum average burn length of 8 inches and maximum average drip extinguishing time of 5 seconds, measured in accordance with defined test methods.

Abstract: Sheets of rubber-coated fabric are mounted on the cylinders of offset printing presses. An under-packing formed from the combination of an optional flexible supporting sheet and a plurality of flexible packing sheets is interposed between the cylinder surface and the rubber-coated fabric to obtain a predetermined total thickness which varies for different types of printing presses. The thickness of the under-packing is equal to a predetermined maximum thickness. The thickness of the sheets of the under-packing is chosen such that by removing one or more packing sheets from the under-packing, the desired thickness for any specific case can be approximated. A face of each packing sheet which faces inwards, with the exception of the face of the innermost sheet or the supporting sheet if the supporting sheet is the innermost sheet, is treated with an adhesive which, while maintaining the sheets united, enables them to be separated from each other.

Abstract: There is provided an adhesive article including (a) a radiation curable adhesive layer comprising an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive and, optionally, an acrylated urethane polymer; and (b) a transparent carrier layer. The adhesive article may contain a radiation curable epoxy layer between the radiation curable adhesive layer and the transparent carrier layer. This adhesive article is particularly useful in preparing protective coatings on color filters for use in a liquid-crystal display panel structure. The radiation curable epoxy layer and radiation curable pressure sensitive adhesive are applied to the color filter and then exposed to UV radiation. The UV radiation exposure transforms the pressure sensitive adhesive from a removable adhesive to a permanent adhesive. The color filter with the UV cured adhesive layer is then baked to fully cure the adhesive layer and to transform the adhesive further into a near structural adhesive.
