Abstract: The invention is an electrostatographic printer and a method of printing with such a printer. The printer includes a transfer member that is driven along a continuous path, and a toner image depositor that deposits a toner image in powder form on the transfer member. A substrate is fed into contact with the transfer member, and the toner image on the transfer member is heated in advance of the transfer; the transfer member is cooled following the image transfer to a temperature below the glass transition temperature T.sub.g of the toner; then further toner images may be deposited on the transfer member. A controlling pressure roller is positioned in opposition to the transfer member to form a transfer nip, through which the substrate passes, the substrate wrapping partially around the pressure roller both in advance of and following the transfer nip.

Abstract: An electrostatographic printer is provided in which a web of receiving material (12) is fed along a web path, at least one toner image is formed on at least a first face of the receiving material (12) as it is fed along the web path and the toner image is fixed onto the receiving material (12). A finishing element (66, 67) positioned downstream of the fixing station (16) contacts the first face of the receiving material (12) while the finishing element is at a temperature above the glass transition temperature T.sub.g of the toner to modify the finish of the toner image.
