Claim 5:
6. A method for selective application of primer to a substrate, comprising:
receiving data indicative of an image frame to be printed upon a substrate by a printer;
identifying based upon the image frame data a priming lane within the image frame wherein a primer is to be applied to the substrate by a roller;
identifying based upon the image frame data a non-priming lane within the image frame wherein the primer is not to be applied to the substrate;
causing a streak of molten wax to be applied the roller, the molten wax to cool form a wax ridge upon the roller;
applying the primer to the roller having the formed wax ridge; and
applying the primer to the substrate by rotating the roller against the substrate, wherein the priming lane is formed upon the substrate using a width of the roller that does not include the wax ridge forms, and wherein the non-priming lane is formed upon the substrate as the wax ridge causes the primer to not transfer to the roller and thereby not transfer to the substrate.
