Image-recording technology records images displayed on a screen onto an image sheet. An image-recording assembly has an image sheet and an associated opaque shield. The shield is slidable to expose the image sheet to the image displayed on the screen. The image sheet may be of the type which has microcapsules containing photo-hardenable chemicals coated onto a base sheet. The image-recording assembly is positioned in front of a screen displaying an image with a user exposing the image sheet by shiffing the position of the shield. The exposure time may be controlled manually by the user or automatically by software displaying the image on the screen. To develop the image sheet, unexposed microcapsules are ruptured by either applying pressure to the image sheet or forcefully sliding the image sheet across a sharp edge. The image-recording assembly may be flexible and is preferably less than 15 mils thick.

Image-recording technology

A stationery sheet having labels removably attached thereto by pressure-sensitive adhesive. The sheet may be sent through a laser printer or other printing equipment for the purpose of printing indicia on the sheet and the label. After the sheet exits the printer, the labels may be peeled off the sheet and attached to a letter or some other document. A release coating may be applied to the sheet at the areas where the labels are attached to facilitate peeling the labels from the sheet. A high temperature, stable, pressure-sensitive adhesive is used to facilitate passing the sheet through high temperature printers.
