摘要： A process for printing images by means of an electrographic or electrostatic device using a toner that is cured by multiple applications of energy. The toner has energy-activated reactive components such as radiation-curable sites and reactive functional groups. An image is formed on a substrate by the toner without materially activating the reactive components. The reactive components are subsequently activated by applying a first energy source to adhere the image to the substrate by cross-linking and bonding the image permanently to the substrate, or by transferring the image to a second substrate. A second energy source is applied simultaneously with, or subsequently to, the first energy source, to promote cohesive strength of the image by cross-linking within the toner particles that form the image. The resulting image is permanently bonded to the substrate, yielding substantially enhanced image durability and fastnesses.

摘要： A reactive toner that is energy-activated is printed by means of an electrographic device such as a laser printer. The reactive toner is printed onto a substrate. Toner components that cross-link and bond the printed toner permanently onto the substrate, or another substrate through a transfer process, are activated by the application of energy to react after printing. Reaction of the energy-activated components may be inhibited with blocking or protecting agents. The image is permanently bonded onto the substrate when the protection provided by the protecting agents is removed by the application of energy to the printed toner. The toner may comprise energy-activated components, colorants, color enhancing polymeric materials, binder resins, internal and external additives such as waxes and charge control agents. The energy-activated components have multiple functional groups that react with active hydrogen, components that contain active hydrogen, or components that are capable of conversion to active hydrogen containing groups.

摘要： Reactive toners are printed by electrophotographic and electrographic printers. One or more of the toners may include reactive components. An additional toner, which may be a colorless toner, comprises reactive components. The toners comprising one or more colorants are used to from an image on a substrate. The additional toner is used to cover the entire image, although the additional toner may be printed over, or under, the image, to cover the image as the image is printed on the substrate. The reactive components of the additional toner provide a base that covers at least the entire image to improve adhesion of the image layer with the final substrate, particularly where substrates having rough surfaces, such as textiles, are used as the final substrate.
