Abstract
A color display fan deck or a color card has a substrate having a first surface and a second surface. The color display fan deck or color card has a base layer that is applied to one of the first surface or the second surface of the substrate. The base layer has an adhesion promoting material. A process color is applied to the base layer by a digital printing process. A method of manufacturing a color display device is also provided.
Claims11
A method of manufacturing a color display device, the method comprising:
- providing a substrate comprising a paper material;
- reducing inconsistencies in the substrate, the inconsistencies comprising a whiteness and a brightness of the substrate, by applying a base layer comprising an opaque material that is titanium dioxide, directly to a surface of the substrate to increase the brightness as compared to the substrate, the base layer comprising an adhesion promoting material, the base layer applied directly to the surface of the substrate by a xerography printing process;
- and
- applying a process color directly to the base layer by a digital printing process, wherein the application of the process color to the base layer is by a different printing process than the application of the base layer to the substrate.
A method of manufacturing a color display device, the method comprising:
- providing a substrate comprising a paper material, the substrate having a first surface and a second surface;
- applying a base layer to at least one of the first surface or the second surface of the substrate, the base layer comprising an adhesion promoting material and a brightness that is higher than a brightness of the substrate;
- and
- applying a process color to the base layer by a digital printing process including one of:
- a xerography printing process;
- an inkjet printing process;
- or
- a liquid Electroink process, wherein the application of the process color to the base layer is by a different printing process than the application of the base layer to the substrate.
