  • Publication number: 20150338781
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for printing on a recording medium, wherein the recording medium is pre-treated before the printing with at least one mineral oil-free, low-migration pre-treatment material, as well as a printing arrangement for printing on a recording medium, with at least one printing apparatus which is designed to print on the recording medium on at least one side of the recording medium, with a pre-treatment apparatus arranged in printing direction before the printing apparatus and designed to pre-treat the recording medium before the printing with at least one mineral oil-free, low-migration pre-treatment material.

  • Patent number: 8931412
    Abstract: In a method or system for printing of a recording medium, potential images of images to be printed are generated on a potential image carrier. The potential images are developed into an image film comprising image regions and non-image regions on the potential image carrier via application of a liquid developer comprising a polymerizable carrier fluid with dye particles suspended therein. The image film is transferred onto the recording medium. The image film is fixed on the recording medium via a cross-linking reaction of the carrier fluid such that the dye particles of the image regions are embedded in a fixed polymer matrix and the carrier fluid hardens into a transparent film that permanently bonds with the recording medium. The cross-linking reaction of the carrier fluid is started, accelerated, or extended by at least one component.
