An imaging device and calibration method therefore forms a plurality of hard images upon media using user-defined image data. An optical characteristic of at least a portion of the hard images is sensed at a plurality of different spatial locations of the hard images. The sensed optical characteristic is compared with the user-defined image data, and the imaging device is calibrated using the sensed optical characteristic.

Systems and associated methods of printing using ink-jet technology and offset printing capabilities are provided. The method can comprise jetting an ink onto a printing blanket, where the ink comprises a carrier and a pigment colorant, and where the carrier substantially free of polymers. Additional steps include developing the ink to create a print image on the printing blanket; applying a layer of wetting fluid to a surface of a print medium, where the surface includes a coating comprising a polymer; heating the surface to a print-receptive temperature that is lower than the softening temperature of the polymer, causing softening of the polymer; and transferring the print image from the printing blanket to the surface.
