Abstract
In one example, an LEP printer includes a belt rotatable in a loop, a series of multiple printing units along the belt each to apply an LEP ink color separation to the belt, a first heater to dry the color separations on the belt to a molten film at a drying temperature, a second heater to heat the molten film on the belt to a transfer temperature higher than the drying temperature, and a pressure roller near the belt to press a printable substrate against the belt at a nip between the pressure roller and the belt.
