Abstract:
A method for printing a reproduction of an image by using toner particles, comprising the steps of:(a) obtaining digital image data of at least two density separations of the image forming at least two sub-images;(b) providing image data of a first sub-image of the sub-images to a printing station containing first toner particles with a particular chromaticity and a particular optical density;(c) image-wise applying the toner particles on an image receiving member for forming a first toner image in correspondence with the image data of the first sub-image; and(d) repeating, on the same printing station and using further toner particles having a chromaticity substantially equal to the particular chromaticity and an optical density substantially equal to the particular optical density, steps (b) and (c) at least once more for bringing at least one further toner image, corresponding to a further sub-image, on the image receiving member in register with the first toner image.
