Curable resin transparentizing system for vellum papers |
(57) A method for coating paper with an ultraviolet curable resin in order to achieve
transparency as a vellum paper and thereby avoid the use of traditional mobile or
solid transparentizing resins which are coated using organic solvents whose traces
often contaminate xerographic machines. Alternatively, existing vellum paper is coated
with an ultraviolet curable resin so as to seal its surface and completely trap the
transparentizing resin that it now includes, thus ensuring that the transparentizing
resin will not escape and contaminate components of a machine.
