ABSTRACT:
A label for transferring copies of solvent sensitive images, such as those comprised of fused toner, from one surface to another. An original image is copied on to the 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 transferred from the letter to an envelope without destroying the original address on the letter.
