An example apparatus is provided in accordance with the present disclosure, which may be used for example for liquid electrophotographic printing. The example apparatus includes a photo imaging plate to receive a liquid colorant image, the liquid colorant including a carrier fluid, and to transfer the image to a support, and a rotatable roller to remove carrier fluid from the photo imaging plate and increase the density of solids in the liquid colorant on at least a region of the photo imaging plate, prior to the liquid image being transferred.

Liquid electrophotographic printing

Apparatus and methods for improving print quality and print blanket life in liquid electrostatic printing, for example, forming a first toner image on an image surface; first transferring the first image to an intermediate transfer member; then transferring of the first image from the intermediate transfer member to a final substrate; affixing the first image on the final substrate; rotating the first image to create a second image; and, repeating the method using the second image.

Apparatus and method for image and print blanket enhancement

A method for improving image transfer in liquid electrostatic printing includes applying at least one layer of toner to a surface, transferring the at least one layer of toner from the surface to an intermediate transfer member, and after transferring the at least one layer of toner to the intermediate transfer member and prior to transferring the at least one layer of toner from the intermediate transfer member to a final substrate, selectively applying a wetting substance to the surface and transferring the wetting substance from the surface to the at least one layer of toner transferred to the intermediate transfer member.

Method and apparatus for improving image transfer in liquid electrostatic printing

Apparatus for transferring visible images from a first surface to a second surface and/or for fusing or fixing a visible image to a substrate, comprising: a cylindrical member secured between two round end plates to form a cylindrical structure; a volatile liquid incorporated within the cylindrical structure in a cavity, at least one wall of which is thermally connected to the cylindrical member; and a heater that heats the liquid to an operating temperature, wherein the amount of the volatile liquid is such that all of the volatile liquid would be evaporated at a temperature that is less than about 20&#xb0; C. above the operating temperature.
