Patent ID: 7773916

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a photoconductor drum; a first liquid toner cartridge; a second liquid toner cartridge; an intermediate transfer member; and an impression mechanism; wherein the first liquid toner cartridge is configured to transfer transparent liquid toner to a first discharged portion of the photoconductor drum to form a first layer on the photoconductor drum, wherein the intermediate transfer member is configured to receive the first layer from the photoconductor drum, wherein the second liquid toner cartridge is configured to transfer pigmented liquid toner to a second discharged portion of the photoconductor drum to form a second layer on the photoconductor drum, wherein the intermediate transfer member is configured to receive the second layer from the photoconductor drum over the first layer, wherein the impression mechanism is configured to drive a substrate along the intermediate transfer member to cause the first layer and the second layer to be transferred to the substrate without sintering the second layer, and wherein the first layer and the second layer are not sintered prior to being transferred to the substrate.
