Abstract
Printers comprising a plurality of imaging units are described.

Claims15
A liquid electro-photographic printer comprising:
- an intermediate transfer member and a plurality of imaging units, each imaging unit comprising a photoconductive member;
- wherein each imaging unit is to selectively deposit at least one printing substance onto the intermediate transfer member;
- and
- the intermediate transfer member is to cooperate with the imaging units such that, in use of the printer, a printable image is formed on the intermediate transfer member, the printable image comprising printing substance from at least two imaging units.

A printing device, comprising:
- a first imaging unit, the first imaging unit comprising a photoconductive member to selectively deposit one of a first printing substance or a second printing substance for printing on a substrate;
- and
- a second imaging unit, the second imaging unit comprising a photoconductive member to selectively deposit one of a third printing substance or a fourth printing substance for printing on a substrate;
- an intermediate transfer member to cooperate with the imaging units such that, in use of the printing device, a printable image is formed thereon, and to transfer the printable image to a substrate, the printable image comprising a selected printing substance of the first imaging unit and a selected printing substance of the second imaging unit.
