Claim 7:
8. An image formation device comprising:
a conveyance element to move a substrate along a travel path;
a fluid ejection device configured to deposit droplets of ink particles and resin within a dielectric, non-aqueous fluid carrier onto the substrate to form at least a portion of an image on the substrate;
at least one charge source configured to 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;
at least one radiation source configured to further fixate the ink particles onto the substrate by at least partially polymerizing the resin to chemically fix the ink particles relative to the substrate.
