Abstract
An index divider is reinforced using a polyester film having a bonding coating on one side thereof for bonding the polyester film to the index divider, and a toner-receptive polymer coating on the other side thereof. The toner-receptive coating may be N-Butyl Methacrylate polymer. Other polymers may be used, which have microscopic penetration points to bond with xerographic toner, and which maintain their integrity at the high temperatures and pressures used to bond the polyester film to the index dividers.
