Patent ID: 8764180

Claim:
A printing method comprising: printing an inkjet image on a receiver using an ink having a colorant with an electrical charge of a first polarity dispersed in a hydrophilic liquid carrier fluid with an electrical charge of a second polarity that is the opposite polarity of the first polarity; generating a colorant attracting toner image conforming to the inkjet image on the receiver using toner particles of the second polarity; transferring the colorant attracting toner image in registration with an unabsorbed volume of the ink jet image on the receiver so that the difference in polarity between the toner particles and the colorant attracts the colorant and the toner particles; and fixing the toner image to the receiver wherein after fixing the colorant attracted to the toner particles is bound to the toner particles so that removal of the toner particles from the receiver also removes any colorant attached to the toner particles from the receiver.
