Abstract
An inkjet printing method for printing on a non-porous media includes pre-coating a smooth non-porous media with toner resin particles in a half-tone pattern to create a patterned toner coated media; applying inkjet ink to said half-tone patterned toner coated media to provide an image on said half-tone patterned toner coated media; wherein a tone value of the half-tone pattern is a pre-determined function of an image-wise lay-down of the inkjet image generated by a data processing system; and fusing said image on said toner coated media.
