Abstract:
Herein is disclosed a method for electrostatic printing. The method may comprise: a. electrostatically printing a discontinuous layer of a transparent electrostatic ink in a first area on a print substrate; b. electrostatically printing an image comprising a coloured electrostatic ink on the print substrate in a second area, which may or may not be in the same location as the first area, wherein the electrostatic printing in each of steps a and b involves, respectively, transferring the transparent electrostatic ink or the coloured electrostatic ink from a photoimaging plate to the print substrate via an intermediate transfer member. The method may then involve repeating steps a and b on the same or different print substrates, wherein each repeat of step b results in the same or a different printed image, and the discontinuous layer of transparent electrostatic ink varies between at least two different printing patterns. A system is also disclosed herein.

Claim (Index 6):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein in repeating step b, the same image of coloured electrostatic ink is printed, and the area on the print substrate on which the coloured electrostatic ink is printed is termed an image area and the remaining area of the print substrate is termed a background area, and the discontinuous layer of transparent electrostatic ink is printed on the substrate in at least part of the background area.
