ABSTRACT:
An image recording method is disclosed, which uses a substrate such as paper, a synthetic film, a metal plate, and an earthenware plate and an adhesive layer of a delayed-tack adhesive and activates the adhesive layer in accordance with image information, for example, by a step of endowing a tackiness to the adhesive layer by ejecting an organic solvent which renders the adhesive tacky from an ink jet printer cooperated with a computer in accordance with image information or a step of selectively heating the adhesive layer by a thermal printer to endow the adhesive layer with tackiness, and develops the latent image borne in the activated portion with powder selected from organic pigment powder, inorganic pigment powder, water-soluble dye powder, water-insoluble dye powder, metal powder, ceramics powder, plastics powder, magnetic powder, and microcapsules.
The method of this invention enables image recording without plate making using an ink jet printer or thermal printer cooperated with a computer and with any powder as a developer. The method is particularly useful as a method for producing articles with high definition image, as in painting of potteries or for other purposes, as a single product or small lot products.
