Abstract: A kit for preparing a mountable plate having an image thereon, such as a nameplate, includes light sensitive film and a colored adhesive mounting element. The film includes a polymeric base, a clear polymeric protective overlay, and a light sensitive layer between the base and the overlay. The mounting element includes a clear adhesive layer for attaching to the film and a colored layer that provides color to the assembled nameplate. The mounting element can also include pressure-sensitive adhesive so that the nameplate can be attached to a surface.There is also described a method for preparing a nameplate using this kit.
