Patent ID: 8596643

Claim:
An impact marking ballistic target blank comprising: a substrate having forwardly and rearwardly facing surfaces, said forwardly facing surface carrying a high visibility photoreflective colored ink thereon; a transparent film layer superposed on said forwardly facing surface of said substrate such that said photoreflective colored ink is interposed between said substrate and said film layer, said film layer having an upper surface facing forwardly of said substrate; and a monochromatic opaque print coat layer that contrasts in color with and is visually distinguishable from said photoreflective colored ink and that extends in a continuous, uninterrupted manner across the entire upper surface of said film layer, said print coat layer covering and obscuring the entire film layer and all of the photoreflective colored ink interposed between said substrate and said film layer such that said print coat defines across and in front of the entire forwardly facing surface of said substrate a monochromatic blank surface devoid of an image, said print coat layer having an S.I.D. of at least 1.5 and being receptive of ink jet and dot matrix inks and laser toners to form printed images thereon without accompanying image degradation including bleeding, misting, tailing or scumming.
