A method of fusing and fixing a liquid toner image on a substrate. The image includes a carrier liquid and a non-volatile portion including thermoplastic toner particles which are plasticized by the carrier liquid at a predetermined temperature. The non-volatile portion of the liquid toner, in the absence of the carrier liquid, has a viscosity of not less than 2x106 centipoise at a temperature of 122+/-1 DEG C. The method includes fusing and fixing the toner image on the substrate by heating the toner image to at least the predetermined temperature while pressing the toner image against the substrate.
