Abstract: This invention relates to a replaceable adhesive display comprising a paper, metallized paper, or foil substrate printed on one or both sides with the same or different images, and at least one side is provided with a transparent overlay. The exposed surface of the plastic film overlay is coated with a pressure-sensitive, replaceable adhesive, but in order to achieve proper bonding between the overlay and the adhesive, the overlay surface is treated to enhance the bond between the overlay and adhesive. Following the surface treatment, the overlay is coated with a pressure-sensitive, replaceable adhesive. When the display is removed or peeled from the mounting surface, there is a relatively clean separation at the interface between the adhesive and the surface of the adherend, and substantially no residue remains on the surface. The adhesive is reusable or resealable and permits remounting the display many times. Preferably, a quick-release member is provided over the coating to protect the coating.

Abstract: This invention relates to paper translites comprising a translucent paper sheet or web bearing on the front facing thereof an image area of a right reading in one or more colors, and on the back facing thereof an image area but of a reverse image and of the same colors. Each of the image areas is printed by halftone dots, and the image area of the reverse image has substantially dot-for-dot registration with the image area of the right reading. The printing plate used for printing the image area for the reverse image has about the same or a lower percentage of halftone dots than the printing plate used for printing the image area for the right reading, thereby resulting in a lighter value for each color of the reverse image relative to the same color of the right reading. The resulting translite is equally pleasing viewed by reflective light only and viewed by transmitted light.
