The printer has one or more image-toning stations (9) on a conductive substrate (1). When multiple stations having separate imaging and toning devices are used, complicated image registration structures are avoided. The dielectric layer (5, 10) used is at least 0.2 mils thick and is removed from the system after it is imaged, developed, fixed and laminated or overcoated with a layer (15) of the same family resins as used in the dielectric layer or layers. The imaged and overcoated layer may be attached to a substrate such as a tile or wallpaper base, either before or after the process of this invention is completed. The overcoating (15) strengthens the dielectric layer in addition to overcoating the image. The final coloured image (or monochrome) is removed from the printing apparatus after the overcoating (15) is laminated. |
