摘要:
A method of heating toner of an image on a moving surface of an intermediate transfer member in order to transfer the image to a printing medium of a printing system comprising: providing a toner image on an intermediate transfer member; and placing a surface of a heated member in contact with said image on said intermediate transfer member, prior to transferring the toner image to a further surface from the intermediate transfer member.

摘要:
A method for printing an image on a surface of a substrate having a surface finish defined by a gloss, the method comprising: printing an image on the surface of the substrate, such that image areas thereof have a thickness, when fixed to the substrate and dry, of less than about 6 micrometers of a thermoplastic material; and smoothing the surface of at least a portion of the thermoplastic material.

A method of heating toner of an image on a moving surface of an intermediate transfer member in order to transfer the image to a printing medium of a printing system includes providing a toner image on an intermediate transfer member, and placing a surface of a heated member in contact with the toner image on the intermediate transfer member prior to transferring the toner image to a further surface from the intermediate transfer member. Heating of the toner image by the contacting heated member is in addition to heating by a heater internal to the intermediate transfer member.

An image transfer blanket usable with an image forming apparatus includes a main blanket body, a plurality of release layers configured to receive and transfer an image, each release layer disposed across from opposites sides of the main blanket body, and a plurality of soft layers configured to conform to a substrate onto which the image is transferred, each soft layer disposed between a respective release layer and the main blanket body.
摘要:
A method of determining an adjusted color to be used for computing colorants for printing on a specified substrate, comprising: specifying an apparent color; estimating diffuse reflection from an outside surface of colorants when printed on the specified substrate; and adjusting the specified color for the effects of the estimated diffuse reflection to determine a color to be used for computing the colorants.
摘要:
A printing foil for foil printing a region of an image comprising: a substrate; a layer of foil bonded to the substrate; and a layer covering the foil which layer is formed from a material chosen from the group of materials consisting of methacrylic copolymer resin, polyester, polycarbonate and polyvinyl chloride.
摘要:
A method for producing a printed image having a region that is foil printed comprising: printing at least one region of the image with a toner; printing the region of the image to be foil printed with a foiling adhesive that sticks to a foil on a printing foil, which adhesive has a melting temperature lower than the melting temperature of the toner, and pressing the printing foil to the image and heating the printing foil to a temperature greater than the melting temperature of the foiling adhesive and less than the melting temperature of the toner.
摘要:
Imaging apparatus including an imaging surface having a latent image with image areas at a first electrical potential and background areas at a second electrical potential and a developer. The developer includes a moving developer electrode electrified to a third electrical potential intermediate the first and second electrical potentials and has sequential surface portions closely spaced from the imaging surface to form a development region. The latent image is developed at the development region with liquid toner including carrier liquid and charged toner particles. Toner particles are also attracted to the developer surface and a resilient metal blade is urged against and in contact with the developer surface after it passes the development region and is operative to remove toner particles from the developer surface. The blade is coated with an insulating coating over at least a portion of the blade not contacting the developer surface. The developer electrode may be coated with an insulating coating and the blade may be electrified to a voltage having a polarity the same as that of the toner particles.
