Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for manufacturing a label including providing a release sheet having an adhesive layer on a releasable surface thereof, forming the film-like label portion by electrophotography which includes developing a latent image using the label forming composition to form a solid image of a label shape on a photoconductor, transferring the developed image on the adhesive layer of the release sheet, and fixing the transferred image by applying heat and pressure thereto, and irradiating the film-like label portion and an exposed portion of the adhesive layer other than the film-like label portion with rays to cure the exposed portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a label comprising: providing a release sheet having a releasable surface on which an adhesive layer is formed, the adhesive layer having an adhesive property which decreases with curing of the adhesive layer when it is irradiated with ultraviolet rays; fixing a print image forming composition on the adhesive layer to form a print image portion, and then fixing a label forming composition so as to cover the print image portion to…
