The laminate film for covering of an image carried by a support has a construction comprising a transparent base material and a transparent adhesive layer formed on one side of the base material, wherein the adhesive layer is composed of a pressure-sensitive adhesive and has a surface with a fine uneven structure.

Image covering laminate film and image projection sheet

The present invention provides an image-recording transparent film having a toner-fixing layer which shows an improved compatibility with a toner resin, and capable of forming a color image of high quality. An image-recording transparent film comprising a transparent substrate and a toner-receiving layer provided at least on one major surface of the substrate, the toner-receiving layer comprising a light-transmitting resin having a softening point of 90 to 180&deg; C., and from 0.1 to 40 parts by weight of an amide nonionic surfactant based on 100 parts by weight of the light-transmitting resin which surfactant is in a compatible state with the light-transmitting resin.

Transparent recording film

The invention provides a recording sheet including an additive, referred to herein as a compatibilizer, to improve the quality of images formed by toner powder development of electrostatic charge patterns. Recording sheets, carrying images produced by toner powder transfer and fusion on a receptor surface, according to the present invention, exhibit improved light transmission and reduced light scattering. Specifically, a transparent sheet is provided having a toner-receptive coating containing about 4 wt. % to about 25 wt. % of a compatibilizer on at least one surface, wherein the coating has a low density yellow Q factor value at least 2 less than an identical coating without the compatibilizer.
