Abstract:
An adhesive sign suited to use in retail applications includes a substrate layer. An adhesive layer is disposed on the substrate layer. The adhesive layer defines an exposed region for attachment to an associated structure. The adhesive layer is derived from a photo-curable inkjet composition. An ink layer is disposed on the substrate layer. The ink layer includes an image. The ink layer is derived from a photo-curable inkjet composition. The adhesive layer and ink layer can be formed in the same inkjet printing process and cured in a common photo-curing station. A stack of the adhesive signs can be assembled without interleaving a release liner between each pair of signs.

Claim (Index 19):
An inkjet printing apparatus for forming the adhesive sign of  claim 1 , comprising:\n a transport system which transports a transparent substrate material along a paper path from a media feeder to a curing station, the substrate material having opposed first and second sides; a first inkjet printhead, intermediate the media feeder and the curing station, which deposits an adhesive-forming composition onto the second side of the substrate material; a second inkjet printhead, intermediate the media feeder and the curing station, which deposits at least one ink composition onto the second side of the substrate material; the curing station curing the adhesive-forming composition to form an adhesive layer on the substrate material with an adhesive exposed surface region and curing the at least one ink composition to form an ink layer on the substrate material, which defines an image; and optionally, at least one of:\n a slitter, downstream of the curing station, which cuts the cured substrate material to form substrate sheets of a selected size, each sheet having an adhesive layer and an ink layer thereon; and \n a stacker, downstream of the curing station, which stacks the cured and optionally cut substrate material with the adhesive layer and the ink layer thereon to form a stack.
