The present invention relates to a reusable print medium comprising a substrate and a sacrificial layer. The sacrificial layer contains a hotmelt composition at least comprising an amorphous material. The amorphous material is a resin being a reaction product of a first monomer A, said first monomer A being a polyhydroxyl alcohol comprising X hydroxyl functional groups, wherein X≧2, monomer A optionally comprises a primary or secondary amine functionality; a second monomer B, being an aromatic monocarboxylic acid; a third monomer C, said third monomer C being able to form an ester linkage with an alcohol and/or an amide linkage with a primary or secondary amine; and optionally, a fourth monomer D, being an aromatic monocarboxylic acid different from the second monomer B. The sacrificial layer including the printed image may be removed from the substrate by applying heat. A new sacrificial layer may be applied such that the reusable print medium is ready to be reused.
The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a reusable print medium according to the present invention, a method of printing and recycling such a print medium and an apparatus for printing and recycling such a print medium.

The present invention relates to a reusable print medium (200) comprising a substrate (201) and a sacrificial layer (202). The sacrificial layer contains a hotmelt composition at least comprising an amorphous material. The amorphous material is a resin being a reaction product of a first monomer A, said first monomer A being a polyhydroxyl alcohol comprising X hydroxyl functional groups, wherein X ≥ 2, monomer A optionally comprises a primary or secondary amine functionality; a second monomer B, being an aromatic monocarboxylic acid; a third monomer C, said third monomer C being able to form an ester linkage with an alcohol and/or an amide linkage with a primary or secondary amine; and optionally, a fourth monomer D, being an aromatic monocarboxylic acid different from the second monomer B. The sacrificial layer including the printed image may be removed from the substrate by applying heat. A new sacrificial layer may be applied such that the reusable print medium is ready to be reused.
The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a reusable print medium according to the present invention and a method of printing and recycling such a print medium.
本发明涉及一种可重复使用的打印介质(200),它包括一个基底(201)和一个牺牲层(202)。牺牲层包含一种热熔胶组合物,至少包括一种非晶材料。无定形材料是一种树脂,是第一单体 A 的反应产物,所述第一单体 A 是一种多羟基醇,包含 X 个羟基官能团,其中 X ≥ 2,单体 A 可选择包含伯胺或仲胺官能团;第二单体 B,为芳香族单羧酸; 第三单体 C,所述第三单体 C 能与醇形成酯连接和/或与伯胺或仲胺形成酰胺连接;以及 第四单体 D,为不同于第二单体 B 的芳香族单羧酸。可通过加热将包括印刷图像的牺牲层从基底上去除。然后再涂上一层新的牺牲层,这样可重复使用的打印介质就可以重复使用了。
本发明还涉及根据本发明制造可重复使用打印介质的方法,以及打印和回收这种打印介质的方法。
