Abstract
Abstract A direct electrostatic printing (DEP) device is utilized for printing wrong reading images on a transparent substrate. An adhesive coating on the transparent substrate precludes toner bounce during printing and enables the transparent substrate to be affixed to a substrate such as an envelope such that the wrong reading images are right reading.
