Abstract
A recording medium is provided which comprises an ink transporting layer and an ink retaining layer. There is also provided a process for forming images on a recording medium comprising a heat or pressure-fusible ink transporting layer and an ink retaining layer, which comprises applying recording droplets to the ink transporting layer of the recording medium, and thereafter fusing the ink transporting layer to a substrate.
Claims38
A recording medium comprising a light-transmissive ink retaining layer and a light-diffusive ink transporting layer respectively provided on a light-transmissive substrate.
A recording medium, comprising a light-transmissive ink retaining layer and a heat or pressure fusible and light-diffusive ink transporting layer respectively provided on a light-transmissive substrate.
A recording medium, comprising a light-transmissive ink retaining layer and a light-diffusive ink transporting layer respectively provided on a light-transmissive substrate, said ink transporting layer containing non-dyeable particles and a binder.
A process for forming an image by applying droplets of an aqueous ink containing a water-soluble dye on a recording medium, said recording medium comprising a light-transmissive ink retaining layer and a light-diffusive ink transporting layer respectively provided on a light-transmissive substrate.
A process for forming an image, comprising applying ink onto a recording medium having a light-diffusive ink transporting layer and a light-transmissive ink retaining layer from the side of the ink transporting layer to form an image, the optical density (A) of the image as measured from the side of the ink retaining layer being higher than the optical density (B) of the image as measured from the side of the ink-transporting layer.
A process for forming images on a recording medium comprising a heat- or pressure-fusible and light-diffusive ink transporting layer and a light-transmissive ink retaining layer respectively provided on a light-transmissive substrate, which comprises applying recording droplets to said ink transporting layer of the recording medium, and thereafter fusing said ink transporting layer to said substrate.
