METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRE-TREATMENT OF A RECORDING MEDIUM FOR AN ELECTROPHORETIC TONER TRANSFER

摘要

A printing system can include an energizer, a condition group, a print group, a sensor, and a controller. The energizer can be configured to treat a surface of a recording medium to increase an energy of the surface. The conditioning group can be configured to provide a coating substance on the surface having been treated by the energizer to provide a pre-treated recording medium having a coated surface. The print group can be configured to print a toner-based print image onto the coated surface of the pre-treated recording medium using electrophoresis. The sensor can be configured to detect resistance data indicative of a resistance of the pre-treated recording medium orthogonal to the coated surface of the pre-treated recording medium. The controller can be configured to control the energizer to adapt a dimension of the increase of the energy of the surface of the recording medium based the resistance data.
