  • Patent number: 6860308
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the manufacture of a two-sided image product is disclosed, comprising the steps of: providing a web of media having an image bearing side and a non-image bearing side; printing a plurality of undetermined images on the image bearing side; applying an adhesive to the non image bearing side; moving the web of media in a direction longitudinal to the web; forming a crease line on the web of media, the crease line running in the longitudinal direction along the web; and folding the web of media along the crease line so that the non-image bearing side contacts itself so as to adhere the non-image bearing side to itself.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 29, 2003
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2005
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventors: William C. Archie, Jr., Frank Pincelli, Dale F. McIntyre, Joseph A. Manico
  • Patent number: 6746051
    Abstract: A two-sided image product is disclosed having an image bearing side and a non-image bearing side; printing a plurality of undetermined images on the image bearing side. The image product is made from a single piece of an image bearing media folded such that the first and second sides are adhered together in a substantially co-extensive manner. The first and second sides having a plurality of slits cut therein prior to folding of the page which are sized and positioned to receive at least one corner of a document thereby securing the document to the page.

  • Patent number: 4358525
    Abstract: Photographically useful compounds such as photographic reagents and photographic dyes are blocked with a grouping which, under alkaline conditions, is cleaved from the compound by an intramolecular nucleophilic displacement reaction. The compounds are resistant to unblocking under storage conditions, but are uniformly unblocked under conditions encountered during photographic processing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4299895
    Abstract: A photographic element comprising a support, a layer containing an image dye ligand or dye ligand forming material and a layer containing a dye mordant, wherein the mordant layer has associated therewith:(1) a polymer containing groups which form coordination complexes with metal ions; and(2) a source of metal ions.The polymer holds the metal ions in the vicinity of the dye mordant so that the metal ions can metallize the dye or dye forming material at the image receiving layer. These complexes, elements, and receiving elements are particularly useful in diffusion transfer processes. Novel polymers are also described.
