Abstract
Abstract A substrate of a recording member comprising a hard base, a first organic substance layer which is formed on the base, and a second organic substance layer which is made of a solvent-soluble organic substance and which is formed on a surface of the first organic substance layer opposite to a surface thereof lying in contact with the base. This substrate can be reused.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
238 words
A method of manufacturing a substrate of a recording member, comprising the step of forming a second organic substance layer made of a solvent-soluble organic substance on a mold to provide a second organic substance layer whose first surface, adjacent the mold, follows the contour of the mold and whose surface opposite said first surface is substantially flat, said second organic substance layer having a thickness at its thinnest part of 0.05-10 μm, said second organic substance layer being formed by depositing a stratum of the solvent-soluble organic substance on a mold and drying said stratum, said second organic substance layer being formed directly on the mold, the step of forming a first organic substance layer on said second organic substance layer, said first organic substance layer being made of an ultraviolet-curing resin of a solventless type, and of a material which is curable from its liquid state and which has a bonding property, the step of arranging a hard base on said first organic substance layer, at least one of said mold and said base being substantially transparent, the step of curing said first organic substance layer to bond said base and said second organic substance layer, said curing being carried out by irradiating said first organic substance layer with ultraviolet rays through said mold or said base, and the step of releasing said base from said mold together with said first and second organic substance layers.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
238 words
A method of manufacturing a substrate of a recording member, comprising the step of forming a second organic substance layer made of a solvent-soluble organic substance on a mold to provide a second organic substance layer whose first surface, adjacent the mold, follows the contour of the mold and whose surface opposite said first surface is substantially flat, said second organic substance layer having a thickness at its thinnest part of 0.05-10 μm, said second organic substance layer being formed by depositing a stratum of the solvent-soluble organic substance on a mold and drying said stratum, said second organic substance layer being formed directly on the mold, the step of forming a first organic substance layer on said second organic substance layer, said first organic substance layer being made of an ultraviolet-curing resin of a solventless type, and of a material which is curable from its liquid state and which has a bonding property, the step of arranging a hard base on said first organic substance layer, at least one of said mold and said base being substantially transparent, the step of curing said first organic substance layer to bond said base and said second organic substance layer, said curing being carried out by irradiating said first organic substance layer with ultraviolet rays through said mold or said base, and the step of releasing said base from said mold together with said first and second organic substance layers.

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
A method of manufacturing a substrate according to claim 1, wherein said mold has concavities or convexities, and wherein said first surface of said second organic substance layer has convexities or concavities, corresponding to the respective concavities or convexities of said mold, after release from said mold.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
49 words
