    (54) Safe photograpic art


    (57) Comprises of the ability to produce with the existing and available technology, "safe photographic art", moreover and at the same time, avoiding the need for the heat-sealing process.
    Its practical application, substantially described within page one and photocopies one to five and indeed page two, may give a significant improvement in terms of cost, reliability or performance, for example, over other already available products or techinques in the same field, moreover that being the case, would indeed be a great benefit to businessmen and indeed the whole commercial market, throughout the world.




    Description


    [0001] This invention relates to any photographic art.

    [0002] Firstly, you can take any form of photographic art, with any subject, convert it into a "safe reproduction" which will be "water proof, soil proof, sun rays proof".

    [0003] Unlike normal gloss/matt photographs, which are subject to deterioration, due to the fact that the paper used and indeed the film emulsions are by their very nature, very sensitive, and indeed "using my method" which will "make redundant" the "heat-seal method" which is currently used to keep safe photographic material when extra protection is required with any form of photographic material/art work.

    METHOD



    [0004] Take any photographic material/art work "such as my own example, per exhibit two", cut it out, "as per exhibit three", then place it onto the special colour copying paper, "which is in general use", shown as "exhibit one" and take a copy.

    [0005] "Once you have got the copy/colour/reproduction correct", with your copy you can then cut out again "as exhibit four" or "leave whole in any size", as per "exhibit two".

    [0006] This copy will be as near as damn it the same photograph as indeed the original but unlike the original, will be "water proof, soil proof, ultra-voilet proof, finger/soil hands proof, child proof" etc.

    [0007] Once in this form it can be used in any situation wherever extra protection is required to keep safe "the photographic art form". You can affix it for example as indeed I have, on the front/back and inside of a "Business Port-folio" as per"exhibit five" or indeed use it in any application throughout the business world or indeed your own individual application which you may care to use on any surface or object "within acceptable limits".

    [0008] Also, once a copy has been made as per "exhibit four" and affixed as per front/back covers of"exhibit five" the cut edge can be feathered/tapered so as to take away the small raised edge, unlike "exhibit two" which while in its whole state and if used as such "as for example" in the inside cover of "exhibit five" will have no edges as its all a copy in the instance/example.
