Abstract
A photo quality multi-layered sheet suitable for digital printing includes a first sheet patterned in pre-determined dimensions for rendering a photographic image thereupon and a second sheet married to said first sheet by an adhesive, wherein said adhesive only remains upon said second sheet when said second sheet is removed from said first sheet. The adhesive also allows for the first sheet to be repositioned on the second sheet. The first sheet lays flat once removed from the second sheet, and the pre-determined dimensions are of a conventional size, which are created by die-cutting or die-perforating in order to maintain clean edges when the pre-determined dimensioned areas are separated from one another.
