Abstract

A process is provided for providing a non-electrostatically transferred toned image. From the surface of an element, the image is thermally transferred by contact to the face of a thermoplastic film that is strippably laminated to a paper or like backing. The film is then positioned against a receiver with the toner image therebetween, and the resulting composite is subjected to two successive stages of compressive heating. The process is particularly well suited for producing high resolution images from very small particle size toner powder on rough paper.
