A printing machine is disclosed, that combines charged image pattern creation techniques of electrostatic imaging with the coloration capabilities of dye sublation to produce novel color printing systems offering unique advantages in copy quality, costs, speed, and security. Donor particles having a sublimable dye coated thereon are employed with electrostatic imaging techniques to create a temporary donor image. Uniform heat is applied to sublime dyes from the donor particle pattern into the final image support member.
