摘要:
A system for heated gas fusing of toner on non-porous substrates is provided. The system uses (1) an extended fusing zone held at lower temperatures than needed for a roll nip or radiant fuser, and (2) a very low melt toner which can be fused at greatly reduced temperatures compared to conventional toners. In one form, the system is realized through (a) the use of heated gas as the low temperature extended zone fusing technology, and (b) the use of ultra-low melt (ULM) toner—which requires significantly reduced temperature compared to conventional toner. On non-porous packaging substrates the use of heated gas can limit the substrate temperature to 100° C.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a substrate comprising a first surface having fuser oil thereon, a portion of the first surface including a coating comprising a tracer material and a fuser oil-mitigating wax, the quantity of tracer material being indicative of the quantity of coating on the substrate. A printing system comprising a printer, a coater configured to deposit a coating comprising a wax and a tracer material on a portion of a substrate to mitigate fuser oil, a tracer exciter configured to excite the tracer material, and a tracer detector configured to detect the electromagnetic radiation emitted from the tracer material is also disclosed, along with a corresponding method.
摘要:
A process of MICR and non-MICR electrostatic magnetic imaging of two independent electrostatic latent images including forming a first electrostatic latent image in a MICR printing apparatus; developing the first electrostatic latent image by contacting the first electrostatic latent image with a MICR toner to produce a developed MICR toner image; transferring the developed MICR toner image onto a check; forming a second electrostatic latent image in a non-MICR printing apparatus; developing the second electrostatic latent image by contacting the second electrostatic latent image with a non-MICR toner to produce a developed non-MICR image; transferring the developed non-MICR toner image to the check; and fusing the developed MICR toner image and the developed non-MICR toner image to the check.

Disclosed is an apparatus for depositing a particulate marking material onto a substrate, comprising (a) a printhead having defined therein at least one channel, each channel having an inner surface and an exit orifice with a width no larger than about 250 microns, the inner surface of each channel having thereon a hydrophobic coating material; (b) a propellant source connected to each channel such that propellant provided by the propellant source can flow through each channel to form propellant streams therein, said propellant streams having kinetic energy, each channel directing the propellant stream through the exit orifice toward the substrate; and (c) a marking material reservoir having an inner surface, said inner surface having thereon the hydrophobic coating material, said reservoir containing particles of a particulate marking material, said reservoir being communicatively connected to each channel such that the particulate marking material from the reservoir can be controllably introduced into the propellant stream in each channel so that the kinetic energy of the propellant stream can cause the particulate marking material to impact the substrate, wherein either (i) the marking material particles of particulate marking material have an outer coating of the hydrophobic coating material; or (ii) the marking material particles have additive particles on the surface thereof, said additive particles having an outer coating of the hydrophobic coating material; or (iii) both the marking material particles and the additive particles have an outer coating of the hydrophobic coating material.
