<p>UV-glossing for simplex and duplex prints, wherein an input member (120) having thereon a pre-gloss toner image including UV-curable toner is moved, in non-slip association with a smooth UV-transparent web (110), jointly with the web (110) through a plurality of process zones sequentially including a heating zone (101) and an exposure zone (102), thereby producing an output member having a glossed, UV-cured, surface. In the heating zone (101), at least the outermost toner of the pre-gloss toner image is heated to a molten state in contact with the web. In the exposure zone (102), with the molten state being maintained, at least the outermost toner which contacts the web (110) is cured by a flux of UV radiation transmitted through the web (110). In a preferred embodiment, the UV-curable toner is formed as an outer layer on the pre-gloss toner image.</p> |
