Abstract
This invention relates to an inkjet substrate comprising a polymeric core having a first and second surface, an inkjet coating on the first surface and a metallized layer covering at least a portion of the second surface. The invention also relates to support substrates that are adhered to the inkjet substrate. Additionally the invention relates to methods of making the inkjet substrate and methods of using the same. The present invention provides a metallic appearance to ordinary inkjet printing to provide unique and special print effects. These substrates are useful for printing paper substrates, greeting cards, and novelties, such as buttons and magnets, binders, labels, index products, etc.
