This invention involves a structure containing a layered imaged configuration with an overcoating layer (15). The image is formed electrographically on a dielectric medium (10) which is supported on an endless conductive substrate (1) through charging (7), imaging (8), developing (9) and fixing (12) stations. The overcoating layer (15) is applied at (17) and the dielectric layer (10) and layer (15) are separated from the substrate (1) at (19). The resulting product can then be combined with a base layer to form for example a tile or a poster. The overcoating layer (15), in addition to encapsulating the toned image, substantially strengthens the dielectric layer (5, 10) after it is removed from the system. Also, a process for producing a product having an image depth perception and the product itself are disclosed. The layered structure may have one or two dielectric layers (5, 10) having a combined thickness of from about 0.2 to about 10.0 mils. <IMAGE> |
