Abstract: Magnetic printing process, and apparatus for carrying out same, comprising:(a) forming a magnetic image on a ferromagnetic material which is imposed on an electrically conductive support;(b) developing the magnetic image by decorating same with a ferromagnetic toner comprising a ferromagnetic component, a dye and/or chemical treating agent and a water-soluble or water-solubilizable, preferably thermoplastic, resin which substantially encapsulates the ferromagnetic component and the dye and/or treating agent;(c) transferring the developed image to a substrate;(d) permanently fixing the dye and/or chemical treating agent of the image on the substrate; and(e) removing the ferromagnetic component and the resin from the image on the substrate.

Abstract: Magnetic printing process, and apparatus for carrying out same, comrpising:A. forming a magnetic image on a ferromagnetic material which is imposed on an electrically conductive support and subjecting the ferromagnetic material to the action of a charge dissipating means;B. developing the magnetic image by decorating same with a ferromagnetic toner comprising a ferromagnetic component, a dye and/or chemical treating agent and a water-soluble or water-solubilizable, preferably thermoplastic, resin which substantially encapsulates the ferromagnetic component and the dye and/or treating agent;C. transferring the developed image to a substrate;D. permanently fixing the dye and/or chemical treating agent of the image on the substrate; andE. removing the ferromagnetic component and the resin from the image on the substrate.

Abstract: An elongated pile article having a support strand for attachment to a plurality of yarn bundles, the yarn bundles including a dense portion with the filaments bonded to each other and bonded to the support strand, pile surface structure comprised of a plurality of elongated pile articles placed one next to the other, and a method and apparatus for making the elongated pile article.
