Abstract:
1. An image marking device, comprising: a liquid source that provides a transparent radiation curable liquid; an intermediate member having a surface that receives the transparent radiation curable liquid from the liquid source as a layer of the transparent radiation curable liquid being formed on the intermediate member; a surface curing unit positioned downstream of the liquid source in a process direction that at least partially cures the layer of the transparent radiation curable liquid on the intermediate member to produce an at least partially cured base layer; and an aqueous ink delivery unit positioned downstream of the surface curing unit in a process direction that delivers aqueous ink onto the at least partially cured base layer to form an image on the at least partially cured base layer according to image data inputs to the aqueous ink delivery unit, a transfer station that transfers the formed image and at least a portion of the at least partially cured base layer from the intermediate member to an image receiving media substrate, the formed image being sandwiched between the image receiving media substrate and the at least partially cured base layer after the transfer.
