Filed:

Mar 31, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/414710

Inventors:

Daniel F. Peters - Hamilton OH, US
Ricky L. Helton - Mason OH, US
John V. Guzzo - Easton PA, US

International Classification:

B41J 2/32
B41M 5/28

US Classification:

347221

Abstract:

A reveal substrate includes a sensitive substrate having an opaque polymer sensitive to application of one of heat and pressure which upon one of being heated to a predetermined temperature and subjected to a predetermined pressure causes the opaque polymer to become transparent and a color material disposed in relation to the substrate in a manner to be obscured by the opaque polymer prior to one of the application of the predetermined heat and the predetermined pressure and is revealed subsequent thereto. A method of printing employing the reveal substrate is also provided.

International Classification:

H01F001/00

US Classification:

252/062540, 252/062530, 427/598000, 427/599000, 427/127000, 427/130000, 427/128000

Abstract:

The present invention includes magnetizable coating composition for application to a substrate. The coating composition includes a plurality of strontium and or barium hexaferrite particles having a random magnetic pole alignment. The coating composition also includes a binder adhesive capable of suspending the strontium hexaferrite particles. The binder adhesive is a latex capable of adhering in a substantially thin film to the substrate. The strontium hexaferrite particles are normally present between 50% to 98% of the coating composition's total weight when dried on the substrate. The thickness of the film of the coating composition is at least about 0.5 mils thick, and has 6 to 24 magnetic pole changes per linear inch. The binder adhesive allows for manipulation of the strontium hexaferrite particles to a non-random magnetic pole alignment after the ferromagnetic particles have dried in the binder adhesive on the substrate.

Abstract:

The present invention includes coating composition having magnetic properties for application to a substrate. The coating composition includes a plurality of strontium and or barium hexaferrite particles having a random magnetic pole alignment. The coating composition also includes a binder adhesive capable of suspending the strontium hexaferrite particles. The binder adhesive is a natural rubber capable of adhering in a substantially thin film to the substrate. The strontium hexaferrite particles are normally present between 50% to 98% of the coating composition's total weight when dried on the substrate. The thickness of the film of the coating composition ranges from 0.5 mils to 20 mils, and has 6 to 24 magnetic pole changes per linear inch. The binder adhesive allows for manipulation of the strontium hexaferrite particles to a non-random magnetic pole alignment after the ferromagnetic particles have dried in the binder adhesive on the substrate.

Assignee:

VIRTUAL GRAPHICS, LLC - Easton PA

International Classification:

B41M 5/124
B41M 5/36

Abstract:

Disclosed is a reveal substrate comprising: a) a top substrate layer comprising an opaque polymer sensitive to application of heat or pressure, and becoming transparent upon being heated to a predetermined temperature or subjected to a predetermined pressure, and b) a bottom substrate layer having one or more colored areas on a top surface thereof, disposed such that said one or more colored areas are obscured by the opaque polymer prior to being heated to the predetermined temperature or subjected to the predetermined pressure, and are revealed subsequent thereto, wherein: each of the one or more colored areas comprises at least two different colors, and comprises a two-dimensional matrix formed by a plurality of color blocks, each one of the plurality of color blocks having only one color, and the color blocks are arranged to have a repeating color pattern. Alternatively the top substrate layer comprises an opaque material which can be induced by, e.g., UV, to become transparent. Further the top substrate layer can comprise a transparent material which can be induced by, e.g., UV, to become opaque. Methods of using the disclosed substrates are also disclosed.

International Classification:

G09F 3/00
B44F 1/10
G09F 3/02

Abstract:

Provided is a reveal substrate including a release liner base stock layer; an adhesive layer; a label base stock layer; a thermal insulation layer disposed over the label base stock layer; an ink layer disposed over the thermal insulation layer, the ink layer comprising at least one color; a reveal coat layer disposed over the printed ink layer; and a top coat layer disposed over the reveal coat layer. The reveal coat layer includes an acrylic-based composition including light-scattering particles which cause the reveal coat layer to be opaque in a first state and transparent in a second state, the application of at least one of heat and pressure from a print head causing the reveal coat layer to transition from the first state to the second state, thereby enabling the at least one color of the ink layer to be visible through the reveal coat layer.
