Abstract:
A method of displaying an image using a reusable adhesive surface, comprising the steps of:(a) providing a flexible adhesive carrier having first and second major surfaces, each surface being substantially covered by an adhesive, the first adhesive surface engineered to bond the adhesive carrier to a substrate and the highly tacky second adhesive surface engineered to releasably secure an image carrier to the adhesive carrier; (b) bonding the adhesive carrier to a substrate at the first surface; (c) providing a first flexible image carrier having first and second major surfaces, the first surface being imageable and the second surface being adapted to contact the highly tacky releasably securing adhesive surface of the adhesive carrier, wherein the image carrier is not adapted to adhere to the substrate; (d) imaging the first image carrier on the first surface; and (e) removably adhering the first image carrier to the adhesive carrier by contacting the second surface of the first image carrier with the highly tacky second surface of the adhesive carrier, and allowing said first image carrier to reside on said adhesive carrier for a predetermined period of time; wherein the image carrier and the adhesive carrier are substantially coextensive in size and where said highly tacky adhesive has sufficient adhesion force as to tear 20 lb. bond paper under 90Â° peel test conditions.
