Abstract:
A method for preparing fiche cards wherein a sensitized diazo coating containing a thermoplastic resin is adhered to a portion of the fiche of the card through pressure and at temperatures substantially above room temperature, exposed to actinic radiation and developed, and wherein additional pieces of information are posted onto the fiche by adhering additional sensitized diazo coatings to different portions of the fiche and exposing and developing said additional coatings without affecting the earlier developed coatings. Also, a method for preparing fiche cards wherein the fiche is a photosensitive film which is partially imaged and developed such that the remaining portion of the fiche is simultaneously desensitized and wherein additional pieces of information can be posted by adhering coatings of a photosensitive material to portions of the desensitized film and thereafter imaging and developing.
