A method of printing an image includes transferring a toner image onto an image-bearing side of a receiver to form a continuous or discontinuous toner image layer having a continuous or discontinuous visible surface. An ink image is printed onto the toner visible image, the ink including colorant or a functional component suspended or dissolved in a carrier fluid. As a result, at least 50% of the colorant or the functional component is absorbed into or adsorbed onto the toner. The toner visible image and ink image are then fixed to the receiver. The functional component is selected from the group consisting of a colorant, a humectant, a surfactant, a security material, a fungicide, and a biocide. |
