Abstract
A method of laminating a pre-press proof (200) is disclosed comprising the steps of treating a sheet of plastic material (330) with a corona discharge. Laminating a pre-laminate sheet (240) comprising a first thermoplastic layer (304) and a first support layer (150) to the sheet of corona discharged treated plastic material (330). Removing the first support layer (150) to form a pre-laminated receiver stock (230). Creating an imaged receiver sheet (140) with a second support layer (170). Laminating the imaged receiver sheet (140) to the pre-laminated receiver stock (230) thereby encapsulating the image. Removing the second support layer (170) thereby forming the pre-press proof (200).
