Abstract
The present invention relates to an image element for dual-sided imaging. The image element may include a substrate having first and second surfaces, a first coating, and a second coating. Generally, the first coating is applied to the first surface, where the coating includes a first imaging material for creating, in situ, a first image; and the second coating is applied to the second surface, where the coating includes a second imaging material for creating, in situ, a second image.
Claims20
An image element for dual-sided imaging, comprising:
- a cellulosic substrate comprising first and second surfaces and having sufficient thermal resistance to prevent heat applied to one coating to activate a color change in the other coating;
- a first coating applied to the first surface, wherein the coating comprises a first imaging material for creating, in situ, a first image;
- and
- a second coating applied to the second surface, wherein the coating comprises a second imaging material for creating, in situ, a second image.
An image element for dual-sided imaging, comprising:
- a substrate comprising first and second surfaces having sufficient thermal resistance to prevent heat applied to one coating to activate a color change in the other coating;
- a first coating applied to the first surface, wherein the coating comprises a first lueco dye for creating, in situ, an image;
- and
- a second coating applied to the second surface, wherein the coating comprises a second lueco dye for creating, in situ, an image.
An image element, comprising:
- a cellulosic substrate having sufficient thermal resistance to prevent heat applied to one coating to activate a color change in the other coating;
- a first coating, applied to one surface of the cellulosic substrate, comprising a first means for forming an image, in situ;
- and
- a second coating, applied to another surface of the cellulosic substrate, comprising a second means for forming an image, in situ.
An image element for dual-sided imaging, comprising:
- a substrate comprising first and second surfaces;
- a first coating applied to the first surface, wherein the coating comprises a first lueco dye for creating, in situ, an image;
- and
- a second coating applied to the second surface, wherein the coating comprises a second lueco dye for creating, in situ, an image, wherein the first imaging material activates at a different temperature as the second imaging material.
