Abstract
Apparatus and method for transparentizing and glossing a resin-coated surface on sheet or web material which may comprise paper or transparency overhead projection stock, includes the delivery of such resin-coated material into intimate contact with non-wetting heated matter supplied in a pool or bath for a time sufficient to transfer heat by conduction from the non-wetting matter to the resin surface. The temperature of the bath is maintained above the glass transition temperature of the resin. The resin coated material may be applied by a roll partially immersed in the bath, or an offset or transfer roll may be positioned in the bath to deliver heated matter from the bath, in non-pressure relation, to the exposed resin surface.
