Abstract
Disclosed is a recording sheet which comprises (a) a substrate comprising a first paper ply, a second paper ply, and, situated between the first and second plies, a hydrophobic adhesive layer; (b) an image receiving coating situated on at least one surface of the substrate, said image receiving coating being suitable for receiving images of an aqueous ink and suitable for receiving images of an electrostatic toner composition, said coating comprising (1) a polymeric binder, (2) a dye fixative, and (3) an optional pigment.
Claims21
A recording sheet which comprises (a) a substrate comprising a first paper ply, a second paper ply, and, situated between and in contact with the first and second plies, a hydrophobic adhesive layer;
- (b) an image receiving coating situated on at least one surface of the substrate, said image receiving coating being suitable for receiving images of an aqueous ink and suitable for receiving images of an electrostatic toner composition, said coating comprising (1) a polymeric binder, (2) a dye fixative, and (3) an optional pigment.
A painting process which comprises incorporating into an ink jet printing apparatus containing an aqueous ink a recording sheet which comprises (a) a substrate comprising a first paper ply, a second paper ply, and, situated between and in contact with the first and second plies, a hydrophobic adhesive layer;
- (b) an image receiving coating situated on at least one surface of the substrate, said image receiving coating being suitable for receiving images of an aqueous ink and suitable for receiving images of an electrostatic toner composition, said coating comprising (1) a polymeric binder, (2) a dye fixative, and (3) an optional pigment, and causing droplets of the ink to be ejected in an imagewise pattern onto the recording sheet, thereby generating images on the recording sheet.
A process for generating images which comprises generating an electrostatic latent image on an imaging member in an imaging apparatus;
- developing the latent image with a toner;
- transferring the developed image to a recording sheet which comprises (a) a substrate comprising a first paper ply, a second paper ply, and, situated between and in contact with the first and second plies, a hydrophobic adhesive layer;
- (b) an image receiving coating situated on at least one surface of the substrate, said image receiving coating being suitable for receiving images of an aqueous ink and suitable for receiving images of an electrostatic toner composition, said coating comprising (1) a polymeric binder, (2) a dye fixative, and (3) an optional pigment;
- and optionally permanently affixing the transferred image to the recording sheet.
