Appeal 2007-2677
Application 10/622,229
Claim 1 reads as follows:
An image-receiving element comprising a mixture of
large and small particles wherein said large and said small
particles are shelled with a material providing image fade
resistance selected from the group consisting of hydrolyzable
organosilanes, aluminasilicate polymers and metal oxyhydroxy
complexes, and wherein said large particles and said small
particles have a ratio of from 65:35 to 35:65, wherein said small
particles have a median particle size of between 80 and 140 nm,
wherein said large particles have a median particle size of
between 200 and 300 nm, wherein said image-receiving
element has a porosity of greater than about 40%, and wherein
said image-receiving element has a 60º gloss of greater than 25.
4. Darsillo
Darsillo discloses a recording medium comprising a substrate having
a glossy coating thereon, wherein the glossy coating comprises first and
second groups of particles, wherein:
(a) the first group comprises metal oxide particles, wherein the metal
oxide particles are aggregates of smaller, primary particles,
(b) the mean diameter of the primary particles is less than about
100 nm,
(c) the mean diameter of the aggregates is from about 100 nm to about
500 nm,
(d) the mean diameter of the particles in the second group is less than
about 50% of the mean diameter of the aggregates in the first group, and
(e) the ratio of particles in the first group to particles in the second
group is from about 0.1:1 to about 10:1 by weight. Darsillo 1:64-2:13.
The second group of particles has a mean diameter of less than about
300 nm. Darsillo 7:26-28.
