A method of using an overlay () to verify or form folding, embossing, or rule die () comprising the steps of: forming an overlay consisting of the steps of: creating an imaged receiver sheet () having an image (), a first thermal print layer (), and a support layer (); laminating a plastic sheet () with the imaged receiver sheet thereby encapsulating the image; removing the support layer forming an overlay with an electrostatic charge; and using the overlay to verify or form a folding, embossing, or rule die.

Method of using an overlay to verify or form a folding, embossing, or rule die

A method of forming an overlay () to form a rule die () comprising the steps of: forming an overlay using a method consisting of the steps of: creating an imaged receiver sheet () having an image (), a first thermal print layer (), and first support layer (); laminating an imageless receiver sheet () having a second thermal print layer () and a second support layer () with the imaged receiver sheet, thereby encapsulating the image; removing the first support layer; and removing the second support layer. The overlay has an electrostatic charge to verify or form the rule die.

Method for using an overlay to form a rule die

A method for forming an overlay ( ); to be used to verify or form a folding die ( ), embossing die ( ), or rule die ( ) comprising the steps of; creating an imaged receiver sheet ( ) having an image ( ), a first thermal print layer ( ), and a support layer, laminating an imageless receiver sheet ( ) having a second thermal print layer ( ) and a second support layer ( ), which is preferably clear with the imaged receiver sheet ( ), thereby encapsulating the image ( ) between the first thermal print layer ( ) and the second thermal print layer ( ); removing the first support layer ( ); removing the second support layer ( ); forming an overlay ( ) having an electrostatic charge; to be used to verify or form a folding die ( ), embossing die ( ), or rule die ( ).

Method for laminating an overlay to verify a pattern or as a pattern

Image processing apparatus and method for simultaneously scanning and proofing

Image processing apparatus with internal scanner

A color proofing apparatus (,) for writing images to an prelaminated substrate (,) comprising an inkjet printhead (,) for writing the images to the prelaminated substrate (,). A lead screw (,) moves the inkjet printhead (,) in a first direction relative to the prelaminated substrate (,). The prelaminated substrate (,) is mounted on the vacuum imaging drum (,) which is rotated by a motor (,) relative to the inkjet printhead.

Color proofing apparatus and method for writing inkjet images to a prelaminate substrate

A color proofing apparatus (,) for writing images to an intermediate ink receiving element (,) comprising an inkjet printhead (,) for writing the images to the intermediate ink receiving element (,). A lead screw (,) moves the inkjet printhead (,) in a first direction relative to the intermediate ink receiving element (,). The intermediate ink receiving element (,) is mounted on the vacuum imaging drum (,) which is rotated by a motor (,) relative to the inkjet printhead.

Color proofing apparatus and method for writing inkjet images to an intermediate ink receiving element

A color printer (,) for printing a color images comprising a vacuum imaging drum (,) for supporting a first receiver and a dye donor material (,) in registration with the first receiver. A motor rotates the vacuum imaging drum (,). An optical printhead directs energy on the dye donor material (,), which transfers colorant from the dye donor material (,) to the first receiver forming color images as the optical printhead is transported parallel to a surface of the vacuum imaging drum (,). After the dye donor material (,) and the first receiver have been removed from the vacuum imaging drum (,), an inkjet printhead (,) applies ink to a second receiver mounted on the vacuum imaging drum (,) as the inkjet printhead (,) is transported parallel to the surface of the vacuum imaging drum (,).
