  • Publication number: 20210237428
    Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to methods of embossing print media, printing systems, and printers. In one example, a method of embossing a print medium can include printing an enhancing fluid on a coated print medium to form a printed area. The enhancing fluid can include a colorless radiation absorbing agent capable of converting radiation having a wavelength from 200 nm to 400 nm to heat. A colored ink can also be printed on the print medium to form a visible image. The print medium can include a print substrate and an expanding coating layer on the print substrate. The expanding coating layer can include a thermal expansion agent having a minimum expansion temperature. The coated print medium can be irradiated with radiation having a wavelength from 200 nm to 400 nm to selectively heat the printed area and expand the thermal expansion agent in the printed area.
