Abstract:
1. A system for concurrently digitally printing/marking an image with a circuit having discrete information on print media comprising (a) a digital composition engine operative to generate digital image signals; (b) an image data base; (c) a user interface operatively connected to the data base including means for user input and connected to provide the digital image input to the composition engine; (d) a first and second printhead each including a drop generator and a discharge nozzle and operatively connected to receive digital image signals from the composition engine; (e) a first reservoir of resinous colorant in one of gelatinous and particulate form including a supply conduit connected to supply the resinous colorant to the first printhead; (f) a second reservoir of continuously conductive resinous material in one of particulate and gelatinous form including a supply conduit connected to supply the continuously conductive resinous material to the second printhead; and, (g) a heater operatively disposed to heat the resinous colorant material entering the first printhead and to heat the continuously conductive resinous material entering the second printhead wherein upon entry of discrete image information from the interface into the composition engine, the system is operative to concurrently print/mark a user selected image on the print media with colorant from the first printhead and print/mark a circuit with continuously conductive resinous material having discrete information thereon on the print media from the second printhead, wherein the second printhead is supplied from a mixture of conductive resinous material from a third and fourth reservoir.
