Abstract
Direct dye thermal transfer printing, sublimation dye printing and thermal wax printing may be effected by impinging the energy modulated zero order beam of a laser print energy source on an image forming substance such as a direct dye thermal transfer printing medium, a sublimation dye printing medium, and a thermal wax printing medium. Printing may also be effected by a method involving providing an original electronic color data set, which contains pixels which contain intensity information in the time domain optionally increasing the optical resolution of the data set, dividing one or more of the pixels in the time domain, to obtain a data set containing one or more time-sliced pixels, and printing the data set containing one or more time-sliced pixels.
