Abstract
An ink jet printer has multiple print heads for ejecting ink in response to signals supplied in sequence to cause ejection of ink in forming an image. The ink is ejected upon an ink transfer medium, and an energy source is adapted for application of heat to the surface of the ink transfer medium. A pressure application assembly places the printing substrate in contact with the ink transfer medium in forming an image by transfer of ink. Ejection of ink may occur from multiple ink jet print heads simultaneously.
