Abstract: Methods and system incorporating job scheduling to extend the lifetime of an ink sump according to one or more replenishment models in which two replenishing sumps are used to maintain compositional stability in a working ink sump operable in a three subcomponent ink replenishment system. Determinations of failure modes of the toner sump are made and basic principles for replenishment are presented for implementation in a control system operable to enhance ink sump performance and to extend the ink sump lifetime.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the manipulation of differential gloss as may be inherent in halftoned images by utilization of tags. By selectively applying halftones with anisotropic structure characteristics, which are significantly different in orientation while remaining identical in density, as directed by tag settings, a gloss image may be superimposed within an image without the need for special toners or paper. Conventional copier systems will not typically be able to copy such a superimposed gloss image.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the segmentation of an image into a main area and a image segment for variable glossmark data. By selectively applying halftones with anisotropic structure characteristics which are significantly different in orientation while remaining identical in density to the image segment, a variable glossmark may be superimposed within an image with reduced processing and storage requirements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to providing a designer with the tools for the manipulation of differential gloss in halftoned images. A special mask layer is provided for the rendering of desired glossmark image data. The desired glossmark image data is used to select between two halftones with anisotropic structure characteristics which are significantly different in orientation while remaining identical in density. This selection is made for each corresponding portion of primary image data. In this way, a halftone image of the primary image is generated with glossmarks imbedded therein which will display differential gloss without the need for special toners or paper.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for transferring a developed image from an image bearing member to a receiver substrate in a Contact Electrostatic Printing (CEP) system may be provided according to the present invention. The developed image is formed of a development material having a mixture of carrier fluid and pigmented polymeric particles, the composition of such mixture being selected for its characteristic behavior at an elevated temperature for transitioning to a substantially single phase. The method includes the steps of developing an image onto an image bearer using the aforementioned development material; concentrating the developed image; heating the developed image to a temperature at which the polymeric particles and the carrier fluid achieve a substantially single phase condition, so as to form a transferable image; and transferring the transferable image to a receiver substrate such as a paper sheet.
