  • Coating of toner images
    Patent number: 6880463
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and method for forming coated toner images on a web are disclosed. The coating unit can be employed off-line or in-line with a digital printing system. The coating is applied on already fused toner images and is subsequently cured by means of UV radiation. The resulting coated fused toner images have a reduced sensitivity towards mechanical interaction, e.g., rubbing, and towards water, solvents and sunlight. In addition, they yield a smooth surface with an even tunable gloss, independent of the amount of superimposed toner layers.
