Abstract
A printable media including a carrier layer, a fabric layer and a first adhesive. The carrier layer includes a first surface having a first area, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first rigidity. The fabric layer includes a third surface, a fourth surface opposite the third surface and including a second area, and a second rigidity less than the first rigidity. The fabric layer is secured to the carrier layer by the first adhesive bonding a first portion of the fourth surface to the first surface.
Claims27
A printable media comprising:
- a carrier layer comprising a first surface comprising a first area, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first rigidity;
- a fabric layer comprising a third surface, a fourth surface opposite the third surface and comprising a second area, and a second rigidity less than the first rigidity;
- and,
- a first adhesive,
- wherein the fabric layer is secured to the carrier layer by the first adhesive bonding a first portion of the fourth surface to the first surface.
A method of forming an image on a print media comprising:
- releasably securing a fabric layer to a carrier layer, the carrier layer comprising a first surface comprising a first area, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first rigidity, the fabric layer comprising a third surface, a fourth surface opposite the third surface and comprising a second area, and a second rigidity less than the first rigidity, wherein the fabric layer is secured to the carrier layer by a first adhesive bonding a first portion of the fourth surface to the first surface;
- applying a first dry marking material to a first portion of the third surface of the fabric layer;
- and,
- fusing the first dry marking material to the first portion of the third surface with a first fuser.
A method of forming an image on a print media comprising:
- releasably securing a fabric layer to a carrier layer, the carrier layer comprising a first surface comprising a first area, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first rigidity, the fabric layer comprising a third surface, a fourth surface opposite the third surface and comprising a second area, and a second rigidity less than the first rigidity, and a first adhesive, wherein the fabric layer is secured to the carrier layer by the first adhesive bonding a first portion of the fourth surface to the first surface;
- applying a first liquid marking material to a first portion of the third surface of the fabric layer;
- and,
- drying the first liquid marking material to the first portion of the third surface with a first dryer.
