Abstract
A reproducing machine in which an electrostatic latent image recorded on a photoconductive member is developed with a liquid developer material comprising at least a liquid carrier having pigmented particles dispersed therein. The developed image is transferred from the photoconductive member to a sheet of support material. A pair of rollers cooperate with one another to define a nip through which the sheet of support material having the developed image thereon passes. The pair of rollers apply heat and pressure to the sheet of support material having the developed image thereon. The pigmented particles are fused to the sheet of support material in image configuration and the vaporized liquid carrier removed therefrom.
