Abstract
Simulated photographic prints are created using xerographic imaging. A transparent carrier having a xerographically formed mirror image fused thereto is bonded to a plastic substrate through the use of heat and pressure. The transparent carrier and the plastic substrate form the finished print.
Claims18
A method of creating simulated photographic prints using xerographic imaging, including the steps of:
- forming a right reading latent electrostatic image on a charge retentive surface;
- using suitable toner material, creating a right reading visible image on said charge retentive surface;
- transferring said right reading visible image to a transparent substrate thereby creating a mirror image of said right reading image on one surface thereof;
- adhering said mirror image to said transparent substrate such that an interface therebetween exhibits good optical properties;
- and
- forming a light reflecting backing layer over said mirror image by applying a light color film over said mirror image.
