Abstract:
1. A method for printing of a recording medium, comprising the steps of: generating potential images of images to be printed on a potential image carrier; developing the potential images into an image film comprising image regions and non-image regions on the potential image carrier via application of a liquid developer comprising polymerizable carrier fluid of silicone oil with dye particles suspended therein; transferring the image film onto the recording medium; fixing the image film on the recording medium via a cross-linking reaction of the silicone oil such that the dye particles of the image regions are embedded in a fixed polymer matrix and the silicone oil hardens into a transparent film that permanently bonds with the recording medium; and starting, accelerating, or extending the cross-linking reaction of the silicone oil by at least two components comprising radiation plus increased humidity.
