ABSTRACT:
A method for replicating solvent-sensitive images, such as those comprised of fused toner. An original image is copied on to a label by wetting the image to be copied and the label with solvent (after placing the label and the image in contact). Solvation of the image causes a likeness of the image to migrate to the label. The solvent is preferably applied by breaking solvent-filled microcapsules which are in contact with the label and/or the item which bears the original image. After solvation of the image, the label, bearing a copy of the image, can be removed from the original image bearing surface and attached to a receiving surface. The invention has particular application to the addressing of envelopes for letters printed by laser printers. In this application, a copy of the address of an intended recipient of a letter can be replicated on an envelope without destroying the original address which appears on the letter.
