  • Patent number: 6264786
    Abstract: A temporary tattoo formed from an image-bearing laminate for attachment to human skin. The laminate includes a printable release coating on a backing sheet and an image printed with ink on the printable release coating. A film that is impenetrable to the ink is attached to the image, and includes adhesive on an exposed face of the film. The coating, image and film may be attached to human skin by pressing the combination of the coating, image, film and adhesive on skin. A method of creating the temporary tattoo includes the steps of providing a coated release sheet, printing an image on the coated release sheet, providing a film, covering the image with the film so that the image is located between the film and the coating of the release sheet to create a film/image/coating laminate, attaching the film/image/coating laminate to skin, and removing a backing sheet of the release sheet from the film/image/coating laminate.

  • Patent number: 6157865
    Abstract: A process and system to fabricate jewelry or curios. A conventional drawing program is used to create, manipulate or input an image. The image is reversed or flipped to make a mirror view of the image. This mirror view of the desired image is then printed on heat shrinkable material base material which has been specially coated. The sheet of base material with the mirror image is then shrunk utilizing heat. A this point the image can be viewed by looking through the non printed side of base material. Viewing the image through the base material (which is possible because the image is reversed) has been found to create a much sharper image. The printed side of the resulting curio is coated with a transparent material in order to add water fastness and durability. Finally the printed side of the curio is coated with an opaque white coating. It has been found that applying this opaque coating dramatically increases the quality of the image when the curio is placed on a dark background material.
