Abstract: A scanning carriage of a printer includes a first emitter to emit first airborne charges, a second emitter to emit second airborne charges, and a fluid ejection device interposed between the first and second emitters to deposit droplets of ink particles within a non-aqueous fluid carrier onto a print medium to form an image. The carriage is movable relative to the print medium in a first direction and an opposite second direction. In the first direction, the first emitter is to electrostatically discharge the medium and the second emitter is to induce electrostatic fixation of the ink particles relative to the medium. In the opposite second direction, the second emitter is to electrostatically discharge the medium and the first emitter is to induce electrostatic fixation of the ink particles relative to the medium.

Abstract: A coater assembly includes an array of side-by-side selectively closable slot portions to control pressurized fluid flow onto a substrate during relative movement between the coater assembly and the substrate to form a coating pattern on the substrate. A control module produces the coating pattern via control over selective independent closure of the slot portions based on a mapping matrix of individually addressable coatable elements.

Abstract: An imaging method includes coating a transfer member with an adhesion promoter in a liquid state, changing the adhesion promoter on the transfer member from the liquid state to at least one of a solid state and a get state, depositing a liquid marking agent on the solidified adhesion promoter corresponding to an image, changing a state of the adhesion promoter from the solid state to the flowable state, and transferring the liquid marking agent and the adhesion promoter in the flowable state from the transfer member to a substrate to form a hard version of the image thereon.
