Claims
- 1. A method for fusing a transferable toner image to a face of a digital disc, the method comprising the steps of electrophotographically printing the transferable toner image onto a transfer layer, the transfer layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of: alkyl fluorophosphonates and amorphous perfluorocarbons and having a surface energy insufficient to retain the transferable toner image against a peel force of greater than 550 Newtons/meter;
- registering the transferable image against the face of the digital disc to provide a transfer support-digital disc pair;
- fusing the transferable image to the face of the digital disc; and
- keeping registry of the transferable image and the face of the digital disc during the fusing.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the transfer layer has a surface energy insufficient to retain the transferable toner image against a peel force of from 3 to 15 Newtons/meter.
- 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the alkyl fluorophosphonates and amorphous perfluorocarbons have surface energies of less than 25 dynes/centimeter.
- 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the fusing step is further characterized as heat and pressure fusing the transferable toner image to the face of the digital disc.
- 5. The method of claim 1 wherein said fusing step is further characterized as heat and pressure fusing said transferable toner image to said face of said digital disc.
- 6. A method for fusing a transferable toner image to an article, said method comprising the steps of:
- electrophotographically printing said transferable toner image onto a transfer layer, said transfer layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of: alkyl fluorophosphonates and amorphous perfluorocarbons;
- placing said transferable image against said article; and
- fusing said transferable image to said article.
