Process for detackifying transferred toned images

A process for forming an image from an element having a latent image, said image having toner receptive and background areas, which comprises:

• (a) applying to the latent image of the element a prolonged tack toner to produce a non-tacky toned image;
• (b) heating the toned image to a temperature sufficient to activate the toner by rendering the toner tacky;
• (c) bringing the tacky toned element into intimate contact with an image receptor, and, while the toner is still activated;
• (d) separating the element and image receptor whereby a portion of the activated prolonged tack toner transfers imagewise to the receptor;
• (e) reducing the temperature of the tacky toned image on the image receptor below the activating temperature of the prolonged tack toner wherein the toner remains tacky;
• (f) applying dry particulate prolonged tack toner over the still tacky image on the image receptor to increase the density of the toned transferred image;
• (g) heating the toned image to a temperature sufficient to activate the toner by rendering the toner tacky;
• (h) applying a colorless, fusible, finely divided particulate material to the transferred toned image on the receptor, said particulate material having a melting point greater than the melting point and transfer temperature of the prolonged tack toner;
• and
• (i) heating the transferred toned image on the receptor to a temperature above the melting point of the colorless, fusible, finely divided particulate material.
