Coated sheets or substrates such as paper, opaque MYLAR, TESLIN or the like are utilized in the creation of simulated, photographic-quality prints formed using non photographic imaging procedures such as xerography and ink jet. A first substrate which is transparent has a reverse reading black image formed thereon. Such an image may be formed using conventional monochromatic xerography. A second substrate is xerographically imaged for forming a uniform color image layer thereon. The foregoing results in a simulated color photographic-quality print which when viewed through the non-imaged side of the transparent substrate contains right reading reading images which exhibit color even though they are formed using black toner.
