  • Publication number: 20210389704
    Abstract: Provided are methods of electrophotographically printing an image on a substrate, methods of transferring an image to a substrate, electrophotographic toner cartridge kits, and electrophotographic printing devices. A plurality of layers of toner particles may be electrophotographically printed, using toner cartridges, providing an imaged area that includes one or more colorant layers that include a colorant and a colorant-layer thermoplastic adhesive, and an adhesive layer that includes an adhesive-layer thermoplastic adhesive. The fusing temperature may be selected to heat the colorant-layer thermoplastic adhesive to a temperature greater than an activation temperature of the colorant-layer thermoplastic adhesive and/or an activation temperature of the adhesive-layer thermoplastic adhesive.
