  • Patent number: 5800962
    Abstract: A process for the production of a color image is described, in which a photosensitive material that has a temporary support film, a colored photosensitive layer and an adhesion-promoting layer that can be activated by heat is laminated at high temperature and under pressure with an image-receiving material which carries, on a support, a pigment layer containing a white pigment. The photosensitive layer is exposed imagewise and developed to produce an image, the temporary support film is peeled off from the image-receiving material before or after exposure to light and, if required, these steps are repeated with at least one further photosensitive material whose colored layer has another color to produce a multi-colored image. The process gives color images having a smaller dot enlargement compared with a halftone original and is particularly suitable for the color testing of copy for multicolor printing.

  • Patent number: 4131530
    Abstract: A sputtering method and target for depositing a crack-resistant metal coating on plastic is described. The target consists essentially of Cr, 5 to 30% Fe and 0 to 5% scavenger elements. Al, Ce, La, Ti and Zr, among others, are preferred scavengers. ABS plastic is a preferred substrate. The coated articles have the appearance of bright chromium metal, and are useful as automotive trim.
