Abstract
An improved target label for shooting that includes at least one toner layer defining an image of a target, superimposed over a colored substrate having a color different from the toner layer, and an ink layer underlying the toner layer. When a projectile strikes and penetrates the target, the ink and toner layer displaces and scatters over an area surrounding the point of penetration, exposing the underlying colored substrate layer. The scattering of toner particles visually resembles gun powder and visually simulates damage over an area wider than the point of penetration by the projectile.
Claims15
A target, comprising:
- a colored substrate including at least one paper or plastic layer and having a first color, the colored substrate having a front surface and a back surface;
- a transparent plastic film having a front surface and a back surface, the back surface of the transparent plastic film overlaying the front surface of the colored substrate;
- a toner layer defining an image of a target, overlaying and adhered directly to the front surface of the transparent plastic film, and having a second color different from the first color;
- and
- a clear coating applied over the toner layer and any exposed area of the opaque ink layer.
A target, comprising:
- a colored substrate including at least one paper or plastic layer and having a first color, the colored substrate having a front surface and a back surface;
- a transparent plastic film having a front surface and a back surface, the back surface of the transparent plastic film overlaying the front surface of the colored substrate;
- a release agent directly overlaying the front surface of the transparent plastic film, the release agent selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene, polyester, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, and a silicone polymer;
- a toner layer defining an image of a target and printed directly on the release agent wherein the toner layer has a second color different from the first color;
- and
- a clear coating applied onto and over the toner layer and the visible opaque layer.
