Claim 0:
1. A method for selective application of a primer to a substrate, comprising:
identifying, within an image frame to be printed by a printer, a priming lane where a primer is to be applied to a substrate and a non-priming lane where the primer is not to be applied to the substrate;
applying a line of molten wax to a roller, the molten wax when cooled to form a wax ridge upon the roller;
wetting with primer the roller having the formed wax ridge with the primer; and
rotating the wetted roller against the substrate to apply the primer, wherein a first width of the wetted roller that does not include the wax ridge forms the priming lane upon the substrate, and wherein a second width of the roller that includes the wax ridge causes the primer to not transfer to the roller and thereby forms the non-priming lane upon the substrate.
