Claims12
An imaging composition comprising:
- a laser imaging system incorporated within an ink absorbing matrix, wherein the laser imaging system includes a laser imaging component that undergoes a color change in response to laser energy incident on said laser imaging component.
An imaging composition comprising:
- a laser imaging system incorporated within an ink absorbing matrix wherein the laser imaging system comprises a leuco dye, an activator, and a radiation absorber.
A dual printable medium comprising:
- a substrate;
- a laser imaging system dispersed in an ink absorbing matrix on the substrate wherein the laser imaging system includes a laser imaging component that undergoes a color change in response to laser energy incident on said laser imaging component.
A dual printable medium comprising:
- a substrate;
- a laser imaging system dispersed in an ink absorbing matrix on the substrate, wherein the laser imaging system comprises a leuco dye, an activator, and an antenna.
A means for imaging, the means comprising:
- a means for laser imaging, wherein the means for laser imaging comprises
- a means for absorbing ink and the means for absorbing ink includes
- a means for absorbing laser energy and a color-changing means that changes color in response to the absorbed energy.
A means for imaging, the means comprising:
- a means for laser imaging, wherein the means for laser imaging comprises a means for absorbing ink, a leuco dye, an activator, and an antenna.
