摘要:
A fuser mechanism (1) and a fuser device (2) that is at least partially externally heated for fusing toner, on a printing medium (3), incorporating a microwave heating mechanism (9) for contact-free heating of the surface of the fuser device. In addition, a fuser device (2) that incorporates a surface layer that absorbs microwaves.

Electrographic printing of one or more toner layers having a particular pattern by electrographic techniques so that one layer acts as an adhesive, when fixed, for a thin film. Such electrographic printing comprises the steps of forming a desired print image, electrographically, on a receiver member utilizing marking particles; and applying the thin film in registration before activating the toner.

A variety of sizes of color prints are made electrophotographically utilizing a single large size receiving sheet (75), for example, a receiving sheet that is 12x18 inches. The receiving sheet is large enough to receive one multicolor image of the largest size or an array of smaller sized multicolor images. The receiving sheet with smaller images is cut to size after transfer. The large size sheet is easier to handle than a variety of smaller size sheets or a continuous roll. For example, the large size receiving sheet can be secured to a transfer roller (5) to be cycled through repeated single color transfers.
摘要:
Des photographies couleurs de formats différents sont produites par électrophotographie en ayant recours à une seule feuille réceptrice (75) de grand format, par exemple une feuille réceptrice de 12/18 pouces. Ladite feuille réceptrice est suffisamment grande pour recevoir une image multicolore du format le plus grand ou une rangée d'images multicolores de format plus petit. La feuille réceptrice portant les images de format inférieur est coupée au format exact après report. La feuille de grand format est plus facile à manier qu'une diversité de feuilles de format plus petit ou qu'un rouleau continu. Par exemple, la feuille réceptrice de grand format peut être fixée à un rouleau preneur (5) de manière à subir un cycle de reports répétés d'une couleur unique.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for fusing a heat curable toner to a carrier sheet having said toner thereon. In the method, the toner is sandwiched between said carrier sheet and a movable fuser belt and heated to a first temperature by a first means, which first temperature is above a first glass transformation temperature of the toner. The toner is kept at an elevated temperature for a predetermined time by a second means, which elevated temperature is above the first glass transformation temperature, thereby raising the glass transformation temperature of the toner to a second glass transformation temperature. The apparatus has at least a first endless fuser belt, first heating means for heating the toner to a first temperature, second heating means located downstream of said first heating means for keeping the toner at an elevated temperature for a predetermined time and control means for controlling the first and second heating means.
摘要:
Electrographic printing wherein raised information, with a distinct tactile feel, can be printed by electrographic techniques. Such electrographic printing comprises the steps of forming a desired print image, electrographically, on a receiver member utilizing standard size marking particles; and in an area of the formed print image, where desired tactile feel, raised information is to be formed, selectively forming such tactile feel, raised information utilizing marking particles of a substantially larger size than the standard size marking particles of the desired print image.
摘要:
An apparatus; for fixing of toner onto a receiver (16), including: a non-contact fuser (18) capable of fusing one or more layers of toner on a receiver such that one or more toner layers reach a fusing temperature above a glass transition temperature. The apparatus also includes one or more cooling finish rollers (52) located downstream from the non-contact fuser to lower the toner temperature. The apparatus uses a toner which comprises a chrystalline rheology modifier capable of lowering the melt viscosity of the toner's polymer binder.
