PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide printing systems that include an intermediate member and provide simultaneous image transfer and curing with increased productivity in multi-pass printing.SOLUTION: The printing systems 201 includes: a rotatable intermediate member 202 including an outer surface 203 on which marking material can be applied to form an image via multiple passes; a transport device 216 including a rotatable transport belt 218 having an inlet end and an outlet end; and a radiating device 220. The transport device 216 is movable relative to the outer surface of the intermediate member 202 to engage the transport belt 218 with a medium 242 starting at the inlet end at which a leading edge of the medium enters and progressively increase an engagement zone with the medium toward the outlet end as the leading edge of the medium advances, wherein the outer surface and the transport belt 218 form an image transfer/curing zone 234 which increases in length as the transport belt is progressively engaged with the advancing medium. The radiating device 220 includes a radiant energy source 250 adapted to simultaneously progressively expose the image to radiant energy while the image is being transferred to the medium along the image transfer/curing zone 234. |
