Method of producing an image by use of highly selective electrostatic transfer of dry clear toner to areas contacted by ink

摘要

The present invention relates to ink-jet inks in combination with a clear, dry toner to produce a permanent ink-jet image. In particular, this invention relates to an ink system that utilizes the addition of specific toner/developers, typically found in the laser printer field, with aqueous based in-jet inks. These dual systems produce a permanent image that is resistant to image degradation factors such as mechanical abrasion, light, water, and solvents such as the ones used in highlighter markers.
