Abstract
Printers, methods, and apparatus to form an image on a substrate are disclosed. An example apparatus (100) to form an image on a print substrate includes an applicator (104) to apply a first material (110), an ink developer (106) to apply a plurality of ink particles (112), and a transfer cylinder (108) to transfer the ink particles (112) and the first material (110) to a print substrate (102) to form an image and a coating.
Claims15
An apparatus (100) to form an image on a print substrate, comprising:
- an applicator (104) to apply a first material (110);
- an ink developer (106) to apply a plurality of ink particles (112);
- and
- a transfer cylinder (108) to transfer the ink particles (112) and the first material (110) to a print substrate (102) to form an image and a coating.
A method (700) to form an image on a print substrate (102), comprising:
- applying (702) a first material (110);
- applying (714) a plurality of ink particles (112) to the first material (110);
- and
- transferring (718) the ink particles (112) and the first material (110) to a print substrate (102) to form an image and a coating.
A printer (200) to form an image on a substrate (102), comprising:
- a photo imaging surface (232) to receive ink particles (112);
- a transfer surface (260) to receive the ink particles (112) from the photo imaging surface (232) and to transfer the ink particles (112) to the substrate (102);
- and
- an applicator (266) to apply a coating material (268) to at least one of the photo imaging surface (232) or the transfer surface (260), the transfer surface (260) to transfer the coating material (268) to the substrate (102).
