Correction method

A method for removing correctable images, applied to an original sheet by means of type ink containing a resin as the main component thereof, with a lift-off correction element which comprises:

• (a) using as a correction element a pressure-sensitive lift-off correction element having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a tackifier resin which is a resin other than the resin present in the correctable images to be removed from the original sheet, and a sufficient amount of a plasticizer which is capable of plasticizing the resin of said correctable images but is not capable of plasticizing said tackifier resin;
• (b) impacting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of said correction element against the correctable images which are typed onto an original sheet to adhere the correctable images to the adhesive layer, and removing the adhesive layer from the original sheet, whereby the correctable images which are adhered to the adhesive layer and removed from the original sheet are rendered adhesive by said plasticizing action to permit additional correctable images of type of ink to be adhered in registration thereover;
• and
• (c) repeating the correcting operation of step (b) several times over the same areas of the adhesive layer still bearing the correctable image removed in the previous step (b) to provide the same quality of image-removal as the first time.
