A method of printing a toner, comprising:
- rotating a cylinder having a printing plate with a fixed pattern;
- transferring a toner from a vessel onto the fixed pattern of the printing plate, wherein the toner includes a pigment, and wherein the pigment is a color shifting pigment comprised of at least one absorber layer, dielectric layer, and metallic reflective layer;
- and
- transferring the toner onto a substrate, wherein the fixed pattern defines select portions of an image, and wherein the toner correlates to the select portions of the image.
A method of printing a toner, comprising:
- rotating a cylinder having a printing plate with a fixed pattern;
- transferring a toner from a vessel onto the fixed pattern of the printing plate, wherein the toner is a dry powder, and includes a pigment with a metallic reflective layer;
- and
- transferring the toner onto a substrate, wherein the fixed pattern defines select portions of an image, and wherein the toner correlates to the select portions of the image.
A printing machine, comprising:
- a vessel holding a toner, wherein the toner includes a pigment, and wherein the pigment is a color shifting pigment comprised of at least one absorber layer, dielectric layer, and metallic reflective layer;
- a cylinder having a printing plate with a fixed pattern;
- and
- a toner roller to transfer the toner from the vessel to the fixed pattern of the printing plate, and wherein the toner is to be transferred from the printing plate on to a substrate.
