Toner Printing, as a Glue Patent Now Available. Looking for Collaborative Partners. One of the under-utilized capabilities of dry Toner, is toner can be a form of Glue. Toner will soften when heated and can be used like a hot-melt glue-gun. Toner printed paper, can be hot-ironed, or thermal laminated and will laminate to other objects.
This can be used to make: ~ Envelopes or Pouches, fold and then heat-seal. ~ Books, by heat sticking the sheets’ edges together. ~ Labels toner-backed, hot laminated to objects ~ Decorate by hot-ironing gold-foil into toner. ~ Security created by hot-ironing toner with MICR or Magnetic adjective material.
These “Toner As-An-Adhesive” techniques are documented in Buck Crowley’s 3 US patents. We are looking for Collaborative Partners to sell and service Toner adhesive devices for their applications.
