  • Publication number: 20070078031
    Abstract: A golf yardage guide with removably securable pages inserted after the guide is assembled. The removably securable pages are provided for additions to, replacement of pages or removal from the golf yardage guide. The yardage guide includes a plurality of pages coupled together by a binding. The removably securable pages are formed with binding apertures each aperture having a slit extending from the binding aperture to an edge of the removably securable pages. The slits create catches on either side of the slit. The slits and catches are used to couple the binding apertures with the binding of the yardage guide. The removably securable pages display content including golf course information, yardage information for holes on the course, coupons, advertisements, rules, and customer customizations.

  • Patent number: 7102660
    Abstract: An article for receiving an image by thermal transfer printing includes an image-receiving surface of plastics material coated with a layer of dye-receptive material capable of accepting an image by means of a dye thermal transfer process, wherein the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the dye receptive material is at least 50° C. lower than the softening point of the plastics material of the image-receiving surface. By having a difference between the softening point of the plastics material article surface and the Tg of the material coated thereon of at least 50° C. it is possible to achieve printing in a single step transfer process of high density images without distortion of the plastics material. The invention can be used with three-dimensional articles possibly having compound curves, including casings for mobile telephones made of polymers such as polycarbonate.

  • Patent number: 6838136
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coating material for producing a porous ink-absorbent coating on a substrate to be used in ink-jet printers, comprising radiation curable material and particulate material in a liquid carrier, wherein the weight ratio of particulate material to radiation curable material is greater than 1:1. Also disclosed is a process for preparing a coated substrate using such a coating material. Advantageously, the coating material of the present invention does not crack upon curing, and conveniently forms a porous coating having a glossy surface, while retaining a porous structure for ink-absorption.
