An image transfer process is provided for transferring an ink-jet image composite from an original receptor to a final receptor. The transfer process allows one to view an ink-jet image on a variety of substrates including mock-ups for packaging and other materials that would not be capable of receiving an image directly in an ink-jet printer.

A clamping and tensioning system for securing a sheet of photoconductor film to an outer circumferential surface of a carrier drum includes a clamp rod mounted to the carrier drum by first and second mounting blocks. The first and second mounting blocks include elongated slots that allow the clamp rod to rotate about its longitudinal axis and further permit linear radial movement of the clamp rod with respect to the carrier drum. The clamp rod includes mounting pins and spring tabs that engage leading and trailing edges of the photoconductor film. The leading and trailing edges of the photoconductor film are releasibly clamped to the clamp rod by a clamp bar. Leaf spring elements associated with the first and second mounting blocks bias the clamp rod radially inward to a first position wherein the photoconductor film extends loosely about the outer surface of the carrier drum. The photoconductor film is tensioned by rotating the clamp rod about its longitudinal axis which in turn winds the leading and trailing edges of the photoconductor film about the clamp rod. As the clamp rod is rotated, it moves radially outward with respect to the carrier drum along the elongated slots against the bias of the leaf spring elements.

A pruning sealant composition comprising lanolin and a drying agent effective for forming a film upon an exposed surface of the pruning sealant composition. An optional high temperature viscosity modifier may be included in the sealer composition. Also disclosed is a method of making the pruning sealant composition and a method of sealing a pruning site with the pruning sealant composition.
