Abstract
The invention is a paper/plastic laminate suitable for use in office, midrange and high-speed traditional laser and digital copiers and digital printers, and other like equipment using heat set fuser toner adhesion as the method for fusing/bonding an ink to a paper. The paper/plastic laminate comprises a paper web laminated to a plastic film using 100% solids adhesives. Employing 100% solids adhesive technology in the laminating process yields a more dimensionally stable paper/plastic laminate when the laminate is re-exposed to heat and the ability to make lighter paper/plastic laminates than otherwise possible using solvated or waterborne adhesives.
