  • Publication number: 20190054725
    Abstract: A coater configured to manufacture a laminated coated product. The coater includes a first coating station configured to apply an adhesive to a side of a first cellulose based substrate, a first nip assembly configured to press the adhesive coated side of the first cellulose based substrate to a second cellulose based substrate to form a laminate, a first dryer section configured to dry the adhesive in the laminate, a second coating station configured to apply a coating to the second cellulose based substrate side of the laminate, a second dryer section configured to dry the coating on the laminate, and a reel section configured to wind a reel of the laminate.

  • Publication number: 20070159473
    Abstract: A poster holder having a first member, a second member moveable away from the first member to an open position and moveable towards the first member to a closed position, the second member cooperating with the first member to secure the substrate in the closed position, a controller configured to selectively energize at least one portion of an energizeable image on a substrate detachably securable between the first member and the second member in the closed position, and an electrical power source connected to the controller. The poster holder is useable in a display that includes a poster formed of a substrate and an energizeable image formed thereon. Methods of displaying an energizeable image using the poster holder are set forth.

  • Publication number: 20060174993
    Abstract: A substrate has a self-illuminatable image. The substrate, which can be paper, will first receive conductive ink. The substrate can be calendered to provide a smooth, sealed surface for the ink. On top of the conductive ink, one or more dielectric layers can be provided followed by a phosphor-containing layer. A smoothing layer can then be provided. A second layer of conductive ink is provided on the smoothing layer. The conductive layers can be applied in any desired pattern. The first underlying conductive ink layer and the second overlying conductive ink layer will match the image in certain portions. When a current is passed through the conductive inks, phosphor in the phosphor-containing layer will be excited in order to illuminate the image. After printing of the first conductive layer, the substrate can be calendered to help connect conductive particles in the ink. A one-sided or two-sided display can be provided.
