Abstract
Simulated photographic-quality prints are created using non-photographic imaging such as xerography and ink jet. Reverse or wrong reading toner images are formed on a transparent substrate which is adhered to a coated backing sheet. The backing sheet is coated with a polymer material which seves as an adhesive and has a glass transition temperature less than 55.degree. C. A hydrophilic polymer coating having a melting point greater than 50.degree. C. contacting the adhesive polymer serves as a wetting agent for providing an enhanced optical interface as well as protection for the adhesive polymer which has a lower melting point than the adhesive polymer.
