  • Inline coatings process for xerographically prepared MICR checks
    Patent number: 7954714
    Abstract: A process of MICR and non-MICR electrostatic magnetic imaging of two independent electrostatic latent images including (a) forming a first electrostatic latent image in a MICR printing apparatus; (b) developing the first electrostatic latent image by contacting the first electrostatic latent image with a MICR toner to produce a developed MICR toner image; (c) transferring the developed MICR toner image onto a check; (d) forming a second electrostatic latent image in a non-MICR printing apparatus; (e) developing the second electrostatic latent image by contacting the second electrostatic latent image with a non-MICR toner to produce a developed non-MICR image; (f) transferring the developed non-MICR toner image to the check; (g) fusing the MICR toner image and the non-MICR toner image to the check, wherein a fuser oil is supplied to the check during fusing; (h) coating the check having fused developed MICR toner image and non-MICR toner image with an aqueous coating comprising a polymer and a surfactant.

  • PRE-PROCESSING CLEANING OF PRE-PRINTED DOCUMENTS
    Publication number: 20070290053
    Abstract: A method cleans at least a region of a document to remove amino-functional group release agents from the region cleaned. Then, processed data can be recorded in the cleaned region using a MICR encoder without encountering problems with the amino-functional group release agents.
