Foil images are formed simultaneously with color toner images on a receiver material. One or more color toner latent images are formed on the receiver material using dry color toners. Each dry color toner has a (a) polymeric resin, a (b) pigment colorant, and a (c) wax that has a melting temperature defined as T. A foiling latent image is formed using a dry foiling toner that has a (a') polymeric resin and a (c′) wax that has a melting temperature defined as T. The foiling latent image is in an area that is different from the color image areas and Tis less than Tby at least 15° C. All toners are simultaneously fixed in a fuser oil-free fixing operation. A printing foil can be brought into intimate contact with the fused foiling toner at a foiling temperature (FT) that is greater than Tbut less than T.
