Abstract
A method of producing a laminated image on a receiver is provided. The method includes providing a recording element comprising an unimaged image receiving layer having a removable protective laminate adhered to the unimaged image receiving layer; and transferring the removable protective laminate to an imaged image receiving layer. The imaged image receiving layer can be the former unimaged receiving layer after the layer has been printed. Alternatively, the imaged image receiving layer can be from a second recording element having an image receiving layer after that image receiving layer has been printed.
