Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 0:
1. An image formation device comprising:
at least one frame portion:
a fluid ejection device supported by the frame portion and configured to deposit droplets of ink particles and resin within a non-aqueous fluid carrier onto a substrate to at least partially form an image on the substrate;
at least one emitter supported by the at least one frame portion and configured to, upon relative movement between the frame portion and the substrate, emit airborne charges to fixate the ink particles onto the substrate by causing the ink particles to move, via attraction relative to the substrate, through the fluid carrier toward the substrate to electrostatically fix the ink particles relative to the substrate; and
at least one radiation source supported by the at least one frame portion and configured to emit radiation to further fixate the ink particles onto the substrate by polymerizing the resin to chemically fix the ink particles relative to the substrate.
