Abstract
Abstract Recording medium for photographic prints comprising a magnetizable layer on the rear side of a photographic material which is preferrably paper based, the magnetizable areas having different surface roughnesses. This medium allows recording of sound information or codes on the prints and reproduction in recorders or by monitoring.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
An improved recording material having a magnetizable recording surface comprising a film substrate, a light sensitive layer on one surface, and a magentizable material which contains a magnetic pigment on the other surface of the support consisting of a polymeric binder with incorporated magnetic pigments wherein the improvement comprises a plurality of strips of said magnetizable material having areas of differing surface roughness consisting of at least one stripe having a surface of lesser roughness and at least one stripe having a surface of greater roughness.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
86 words
An improved recording material having a magnetizable recording surface comprising a film substrate, a light sensitive layer on one surface, and a magentizable material which contains a magnetic pigment on the other surface of the support consisting of a polymeric binder with incorporated magnetic pigments wherein the improvement comprises a plurality of strips of said magnetizable material having areas of differing surface roughness consisting of at least one stripe having a surface of lesser roughness and at least one stripe having a surface of greater roughness.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
Recording material according to claim 1, characterized in that the stripes run parallel to the longer edge of the film substrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
Recording material according to claim 1, characterised in that the stripes are alternatively elevated and lowered.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
Recording material according to claim 1, characterised in that the polymeric layer consists of stripes of alternatively arranged magnetizable polymer composition and non-magnetizable polymer composition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
117 words
A process for the production of areas of differing surface roughness on a recording material having a light sensitive layer on one surface of a film substrate which moves relative to an assembly comprising a means for applying a heated polymer material pigmented with magnetic particles as a coating to the other surface of the substrate and impressing the coating into a layer on said other surface of the substrate with a calender roller, characterized by the steps of providing a plurality of ring zones of varying roughness on the calender roller, traversing the coating layer on the other surface with the zones whereby varying areas of roughness are produced in the surface of the magnetic material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
117 words
A process for the production of areas of differing surface roughness on a recording material having a light sensitive layer on one surface of a film substrate which moves relative to an assembly comprising a means for applying a heated polymer material pigmented with magnetic particles as a coating to the other surface of the substrate and impressing the coating into a layer on said other surface of the substrate with a calender roller, characterized by the steps of providing a plurality of ring zones of varying roughness on the calender roller, traversing the coating layer on the other surface with the zones whereby varying areas of roughness are produced in the surface of the magnetic material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
A process according to claim 5, characterised in that the magnetic pigments are needle-shaped iron oxide particles which are at least partially parallel oriented by application of a magnetic field during coating.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process for the production of a recording material according to claim 5, characterised in that the magnetizable layer additionally contains titanium dioxide.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process according to claim 7, characterised in that the magnetizable layer is provided with grooves and that the grooves are filled with white pigmented polyethylene.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
36 words
A process for the production of a recording material according to claim 5, characterized in that in the support is coated alternatively with stripes of magnetizable polymer composition and non-magnetizable polymer composition fed from separate containers.
