(54)	Printing apparatus and method for forming images on a substrate

(57) A direct electrostatic printing (DEP) device (10) is utilized for printing wrong reading images (49) on a transparent substrate (42). An adhesive coating on the transparent substrate precludes toner bounce during printing and enables the transparent substrate to be affixed to a substrate such as an envelope such that the wrong reading images are right reading.
