摘要:
Method and apparatus are described for non-impact printing of single and multi-ply business form assemblies, utilizing an electromagnetic radiation reactant chemical mixture which is selectively coated in one or more plies of the assemblies causing the plies to form images when selectively heated by the action of a controlled source by passing the radiation, such as microwave energy, through the business form assemblies.
摘要:
A form, such as a mailing form, constructed on a single laminated sheet of standard paper size, which is printable by a single pass through a standard non-impact printer, and extendible to provide additional surface area for the form exceeding standard paper size. The extendible form can be adapted for use with mailing forms such as multi-part collated unit sets. The form is useful for providing a Customs Declaration and Dispatch Note having each part printable by a single pass through a non-impact printer.
摘要:
A business form assembly, and the method of forming the same, is described. The business form assembly includes superimposed front and back sheets with at least one of the sheets being provided on the surface thereof facing the other of the sheets with a dormant adhesive in the nature of a thermoplastic material which is rendered activatable by electromagnetic radiation. Sealing lines are formed between the sheets where the dormant adhesive is activated, the resulting sealing lines together defining a receiving compartment suitable for accepting a document for mailing or an object for storage. The sealing lines have generally negligible thicknesses and uniform widths along their lengths. Also described is the apparatus for making the business form assemblies. The mailing assemblies are suitable for manufacture either individually or as part of a continuous series or web of business form assemblies which can be processed through data processing or imprinting equipment prior to separation from each other.
