<p>A printing machine and method is disclosed, that combines charged image pattern creation techniques of electrostatic imaging with the coloration capabilities of dye sublimation to produce novel color printing systems offering unique advantages in copy quality, costs, speed, and security. Donor particles (24) having a sublimable dye coated thereon are employed with electrostatic imaging techniques to create a temporary donor image. Uniform heat from a heat unit (30) is applied to sublime dyes from the donor particle pattern into the final image support member (20). <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
