Method Of Producing Recorded Images Having Enhanced Durability On A Variety Of Substrates

View page
US Patent:
62643215, Jul 24, 2001
Filed:
Aug 14, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/907825
Inventors:
Douglas Eugene Bugner - Rochester NY
Alfred John Amell - Spencerport NY
Douglas Edward Garman - Webster NY
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
B41J 201
US Classification:
347101
Abstract:
A recording process is provided for producing recorded images having enhanced durability. The process includes applying droplets of ink by means of an ink-jet printer or a pen plotter in an image-wise fashion onto the surface of an ink-receiving layer supported on a transparent, plastic film support to record an image thereon, contacting the surface of the ink-receiving layer containing the recorded image against an opaque or transparent substrate to form a composite of the supported ink-receiving layer and the opaque or transparent substrate so that the ink-receiving layer containing the recorded image is positioned between the substrate and the transparent, plastic film support and then applying sufficient heat and pressure to the composite thus formed to adhere or laminate the supported ink-receiving layer to the substrate so that the recorded image is protected by the transparent, plastic film against abrasion, smearing, fading and water damage.

Transferring Colorant From A Donor Element To A Compact Disc

View page
US Patent:
58940693, Apr 13, 1999
Filed:
Feb 21, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/798082
Inventors:
Xin Wen - Rochester NY
Charles D. DeBoer - Palmyra NY
Alfred J. Amell - Spencerport NY
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
B41M 5035
B41M 538
US Classification:
503227
Abstract:
A method for transferring colorant from a donor element to a compact disc (CD) includes holding a CD in the focal plane of a focused laser beam with a colorant donor element being positioned in transferable relationship with the CD and focusing a laser beam on the colorant donor element to heat the donor element to a sufficient temperature to transfer colorant to the CD to thereby effect the transfer of colorant from the donor element to the CD.

Printer And Method For Printing Indicia On A Compact Disk Using A Plurality Of Ink Jet Or Laser Rotatable Print Heads

View page
US Patent:
62025503, Mar 20, 2001
Filed:
Dec 30, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/223258
Inventors:
Yung-Rai Lee - Pittsford NY
Constantine N. Anagnostopoulos - Mendon NY
Alfred J. Amell - Spencerport NY
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
B41J 2455
B41J 2145
US Classification:
101 381
Abstract:
A printer and method for printing indicia on a disk. According to an embodiment of the invention, a printer comprises a plurality of elongate print heads arranged orthogonally with respect to each other about a center axis defined between the print heads. The print heads are capable of printing indicia on a disk having an annular printing area. The disk may be a recordable compact disk or a read-only memory compact disk, if desired. The print heads may be coupled to a rotatable hub centered at the center axis, such that the print heads extend radially outwardly from the hub. A motor is coupled to the hub for rotating the hub, so that the print heads rotate in unison about the center axis as the hub rotates. A controller coupled to the motor and print heads synchronously control operation of the motor and print heads. In this configuration of the invention, the print heads rotate while the disk is stationary.
