  • Analog and digital proofing image combinations cross-reference to related applications
    Patent number: 6365305
    Abstract: A combination digital/analog color proofing method having the steps of: digitally forming a color thermal image on a receiver element comprising a receiver support and an image receiving layer; laminating the digitally formed image with a film comprising a support having a release surface and a thermoplastic polymer layer; removing the support thereby revealing the thermoplastic polymer layer, and leaving the digitally formed image encased between the image receiving layer and the thermoplastic polymer layer; and laminating an analog color image to the revealed thermoplastic polymer layer to create a color proof having at least two color images.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 2000
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2002
    Assignee: E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
    Inventors: Harvey Walter Taylor, Jr., Daphne Pinto Fickes, Harry R. Zwicker
  • Ink-jet media
    Patent number: 6197409
    Abstract: Media are disclosed having a substrate, water-absorbing layer, and adhesive ink-receiving layer. After being printed with an aqueous pigmented ink, the ink-receiving layer may be laminated to a permanent substrate. Exposure to an energy source may render the printed image more durable.
    Type: Grant

  • Process for forming images on permanent substrates
    Patent number: 6080525
    Abstract: A method for forming images on a substrate wherein imaging is performed on a photosensitive element, the method including the steps of (a) providing a photosensitive element having a support, a dry strippable layer and a first photosensitive layer, wherein the dry strippable release layer is present between the support and the photosensitive layer; (b) imaging the photosensitive element; (c) toning to form a photosensitive element having an imagewise toned surface; (d) applying an additional photosensitive layer to the imagewise toned surface of the photosensitive element; (e) forming a final imaged element by removing the support from the toned, photosensitive element; and (f) placing the final imaged element on the substrate to form a final image on the substrate.
