Patent ID: 6982137

Claim:
A method of applying xerographically produced images to a substrate which comprises electrostatically depositing a polymer coating on the substrate and heating such coating to achieve about a eighty to ninety-five percent cure at a temperature in the range of of about 350° F.-400° F., producing by a xerographic process a color image on a backing layer and pressing said image against said coating with sufficient pressure to achieve a desired transfer of said image to said coating herein the temperature of the press is about 400° F. and the period that pressure is applied by said press is in the range of about three to five minutes, removing said backing layer, electrostatically depositing the same polymer as used for the first coating over said first coating and said image and heating said substrate, said coatings and said image encased between said coatings to about 350° F.-400° F. for a sufficient time to achieve a complete cure of said coatings and integrally to bond said coatings together.
