<p>Method for printing a recording carrier. - Method for printing a recording carrier comprises: - (A) generating, on a potential image carrier (101), a potential image (PI) of the image being printed; - (B) developing PI to an image film (of image and non-image regions), by applying a liquid developer made of polymerizable silicone oil-based carrier fluid containing suspended pigment particles, on to (101); - (C) transfer of the image film to the recording carrier; and - (D) crosslinking the fluid carrier to fix it, so that pigment particles in the image regions become embedded in a solid polymer matrix and the fluid itself is solidified to a transparent film that binds firmly to the recording carrier. - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for an electrographic printing or copying device in which an image film, transferred to a recording carrier, is fixed by the new method.</p> |
