Media are disclosed having a substrate, water-absorbing layer, and adhesive ink-receiving layer. After being printed with an aqueous pigmented ink, the ink-receiving layer may be laminated to a permanent substrate. Exposure to an energy source may render the printed image more durable.

Ink-jet media

A durable image is formed by printing a pigmented aqueous ink onto a substrate bearing a hydrophilic thermoplastic polymer having cross-linking groups, then heating the printed image to encapsulate the pigment and cross-link the polymer.

Process for providing durable images on a printed medium

Process for preparing a positive overlay using an imagewise exposed peel apart photosensitive element comprising a strippable cover sheet, photoadherent layer containing a colorant, a tacky, nonphotosensitive contiguous layer, and a support wherein after peeling apart the element bearing the contiguous layer and complementary colored unexposed areas is adhered to a transparent receptor, and the transparent and colored unexposed image adhered thereto are removed. By repeating the procedure with peel apart elements of different color and overlaying the images in register colored proofs are prepared.
