    Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method may comprise forming an image on a surface by controlled electrostatic transfer of a fluid print agent comprising thermoplastic resin disposed in a carrier fluid The method may also comprise heating the fluid print agent on the surface to remove the carrier fluid and to melt the thermoplastic resin and allowing the melted thermoplastic resin in continuous areas on the surface to fuse together to form an image from fused print agent. The method may further involve providing a printed substrate bearing the image formed from fused print agent. The method may further comprise irradiating the printed substrate with an ultraviolet narrowband source so as to cause heating of the fused print agent to melt the thermoplastic resin. A print system and a print apparatus are also disclosed.

    Abstract: An example of an additive manufacturing system is disclosed. The example disclosed herein comprises a build material distributor, a color module, a preheating source, and a controller. The build material distributor is to form build material layers. The color module is to eject a composition that dyes a build material layer with a color. The preheating source is to emit energy at a wavelength related to the dyed build material color so that at least a 40% of the energy is absorbed by the dyed build material. The controller is to receive printing instructions to print a 3D object, wherein the printing instructions define an area to be fused in a build material layer. The controller is also to instruct the build material distributor to form the build material layer. The controller is to instruct the color module to eject the composition to color the build material from the build material layer in a zone comprising the area to be fused. The controller is further to control the preheating source to emit energy to preheat the build material layer.

    Abstract: A printing apparatus for printing on a substrate comprises a first support to support a substrate support, and a second support that supports a print head, a ultraviolet (UV) source of UV radiation, and a gas dispenser. The second support is moveable relative to a substrate supported by the first support. The print head deposits printing fluid on the substrate and the UV source cures the deposited printing fluid. The gas dispenser is arranged to provide a layer of gas, which is at least depleted of oxygen, between the UV source and the substrate.
