Abstract:

Provided is a process for preparing a laminated ink jet printed image. The process comprises first coating an ink jet image receiving layer onto a clear base material useful for lamination. An image is printed on the image receiving layer, and then the resulting construction is applied to a substrate with heat and pressure such that the image bearing layer is in between the substrate and the clear base and is protectively sealed by means of the clear base. The clear base layer acts as a protective layer for the image bearing layer.
