Abstract: A system for previewing and imaging a document includes an imaging unit having an imaging surface configured to carry the document thereon. The imaging unit also includes an image sensing member configured to capture an image corresponding to the document and an image processing member communicably coupled to the image sensing member to receive the captured image. The image processing member is further configured to convert the captured image to a digital data format. The system further includes a display unit communicably coupled to the image processing member. The display unit includes a user interface configured to exhibit a placement-guiding display object over converted captured image.

Abstract: Methods of fabricating a printed circuit and printed circuits, including a method comprising: (a) depositing a conductive material to form a first conductive pathway upon a substrate; (b) depositing a dielectric material directly over at least a first portion of the conductive pathway utilizing an electrophotographic process; and (c) depositing a conductive material over at least a portion of the dielectric material to form a second conductive pathway, where the second conductive pathway is in electrical communication with the first conductive pathway.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ink-receiving print media products capable of improving smear for pigmented inks. The products have at least one ink-receiving layer supported by a substrate. The ink-receiving layer includes a binder blend and a pigment, for example, polyvinyl alcohol, styrene-acrylate copolymer, and silica. The print media product has excellent smear resistance when pigment-based ink is printed on the ink receiving layer of the substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and materials that improve the printing properties of pigmented inks on glossy media, especially smear resistance, gloss, and differential gloss. The method is to apply a very uniform thin coating based on low molecular weight water-soluble polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol and acrylic resins and medium-high molecular weight polymer emulsion/dispersion on printed images. The polymers have good film formation and mechanical/physical properties. They also preferably have good jettability, either by thermal or piezo methods. The thin coating is preferably applied by jetting process through one of chambers of the ink cartridges, but can be applied by other processes such as Meyer rod, roll coater, etc.
