Abstract: An ink jet imaging medium comprises polyvinyl alcohol, a latex, a dye mordant, and a water absorbing pigment. The coating can be prepared from a water-based solvent system, and the medium is receptive of solvent-based and water-based inks.

Abstract: This invention discloses a film and a method for forming a film that can be printed directly using electrostatic priming processes, eliminating the need for transfer of electrostatic images from an electrostatic paper to a polymeric film. The film is durable and conformable to a variety of surfaces and optionally has a field of pressure sensitive adhesive thereon for adhering to such variety of surfaces.

Abstract: Sheet material useful in the preparation of draftsmen's and engineers' plans and drawings comprises a base support, preferably of a stable polyester film, bearing a translucent pencil- and ink-receptive coating comprising finely-divided silica pigment dispersed throughout a binder matrix which is essentially a cross-polymerized reaction product of a mixture of a relatively low molecular weight acrylic or methacrylic ester vinyl monomer, a drying oil acrylate, and a blend of polyene and polythiol radiation curable polymers. The coating composition is substantially devoid of volatile solvent vehicle, yet is readily set to a functional drafting surface by exposure to actinic radiation, such as ultraviolet light.
