Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080304846SEGMENTED ROLLER FOR FLOOD COATING SYSTEM - An electrostatographic apparatus and method of forming a toner image on a receiver using a segmented roller in order to improve transfer of a pigmented toner image to a receiver. The pigmented toner image is applied using the segmented roller and is then transferred to a receiver sheet.12-11-2008
20090016757PRINTING OF OPTICAL ELEMENTS BY ELECTOGRAPHY - Electrographic printing of one or more optical elements having a particular profile by electrographic techniques. Such electrographic printing comprises the steps of forming a desired print image, electrographically, on a receiver member utilizing predetermined sized marking particles; and, where desired, forming one or more final optical elements utilizing marking particles of a predetermined size or size distribution.01-15-2009
20090016776PRINTING OF RAISED MULTIDMENSIONAL TONER BY ELECTOGRAPHY - Electrographic printing of raised multidimensional toner shapes having a particular profile by electrographic techniques. Such electrographic printing comprises the steps of forming a desired print image, electrographically, on a receiver member utilizing predetermined sized marking particles; and, where desired, forming a final predetermined multidimensional shape utilizing marking particles of a predetermined size or size distribution.01-15-2009
20090291274DEVELOPER FOR SELECTIVE PRINTING OF RAISED INFORMATION BY ELECTROGRAPHY - The use of electrographic printing to prepare prints which have a desired tactile feel or raised information in a controlled manner by utilizing a developer having toner particle size larger than 50 microns volume average diameter and carrier particles larger than the toner particle size such that the volume average distribution overlap between the toner distribution curve and carrier particle distribution curve is less than 35% and the carrier and toner particles have a volume average diameter size differential equal to or greater than 5 microns or the ratio of carrier-to-toner volume average diameter exceeds 1.25.11-26-2009
20100051165ELECTROGRAPHIC DIGITALLY PATTERNING OF METAL FILMS - Electrographic printing of one or more toner layers having a particular pattern by electrographic techniques so that one layer acts as an adhesive, when fixed, for a thin film. Such electrographic printing comprises the steps of forming a desired print image, electrographically, on a receiver member utilizing marking particles; and applying the thin film in registration before activating the toner.03-04-2010
20100104336METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRINTING EMBOSSED REFLECTIVE IMAGES - A printing method for producing a textured thin film image (04-29-2010
20100155128PRINTED ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARDS AND OTHER ARTICLES HAVING PATTERNED COONDUCTIVE IMAGES - The present invention provides an article of manufacture using an electrophotographic printer to produce printed electronic circuits by printing a second conductive powder layer and a first thermoplastic layer in registration. The second conductive powder layer is permanently fixed to the first layer before removing conductive powder from portions of the substrate other than that coated with the thermoplastic patterned image.06-24-2010
20100159373METHOD OF PRODUCING ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARDS USING ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHY - The present invention provides a method producing printed electronic circuits using electrophotography.06-24-2010
20100159648ELECTROPHOTOGRAPH PRINTED ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARDS - The present invention provides a device for producing printed electronic circuits using electrophotography06-24-2010
20100232821SELECTIVE PRINTING OF RAISED INFORMATION USING ELECTROGRAPHY - Printing of information with a distinct tactile feel can be accomplished by electrographic techniques. Such electrographic printing includes the steps of forming a desired print image, electrographically, on a receiver member utilizing standard size marking particles; and in areas of the formed print image, forming raised information by printing at least a first raised image and a second raised image. The print and raised images are fixing on the receiver member. The raised images are applied using toner particles having diameters substantially larger than the diameters standard size toner particles used for applying the print image.09-16-2010
20110052234ENHANCED FUSING OF RAISED TONER USING ELECTROGRAPHY - Printing of information with a distinct tactile feel can be accomplished by electrographic techniques. Such electrographic printing includes electrographic printing of raised images to selected areas of a receiver member using electrographic techniques so that they are fixed according to the properties of the raised print such as according to the mass per unit area or toner height. In one embodiment, by slowing down the process speed of the fuser to allow for a longer dwell so that the large toner particles and/or toner mass needed to make raised image will properly adhere to the print media without artifacts. To keep the energy requirements and the cost of the equipment down a speed switching technique is used that slows the process speed of the fuser so that the raised image is properly fused on a wide range of paper types.03-03-2011
20110116814ERROR CORRECTION IN A MULTICOLOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PRINT ENGINE - A method and system for printing image documents using a variety of toners where some toners using a multi-development station having two or more development stations. These toners are co-printed prior to fixing, on the receiver by the multi-development station.05-19-2011
20110116838DUAL DIVERTER - A method and system for printing image documents using a variety of toners where some toners using a multi-development station having two or more development stations. These toners are co-printed prior to fixing, on the receiver by the multi-development station.05-19-2011
20110116840Multicolor electrophotographic print engine - A method and system for printing image documents using a variety of toners where some toners using a multi-development station having two or more development stations. These toners are co-printed prior to fixing, on the receiver by the multi-development station.05-19-2011
20110117487JOB ERROR CORRECTION IN A MULTICOLOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PRINT ENGINE - A method and system for printing image documents using a variety of toners where some toners using a multi-development station having two or more development stations. These toners are co-printed prior to fixing, on the receiver by the multi-development station.05-19-2011
