Abstract
A self-adhering image made by the steps comprising: forming an imaged receiver sheet (140) having an image (230), a first thermoplastic layer (304), and a first support layer (150); laminating an imageless receiver sheet (160) with a second thermoplastic layer (308) and a second support layer (170) with the imaged receiver sheet (140) thereby encapsulating the image (230) between the first thermoplastic layer (304) and the second thermoplastic layer (308); removing the first support layer (150); removing the second support layer (170); and forming an encapsulated image capable of self-adhering to a surface.
Claims8
A self-adhering image made by a single-pass construction, wherein said image is made by the steps comprising:
