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 7):
The method according to  claim 1 , where the transparent electrostatic ink comprises a solid polar compound selected from the group consisting of a saccharide, polyacrylic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, styrene maleic anhydride, a bismaleimide oligomer, a cellulose derivative and an aliphatic urethane acrylate.
