Abstract

In one example, a system for transferring an ink image from a photoconductor to a print substrate includes a transfer member having a light absorbing exterior surface to receive a liquid LEP ink image from the photoconductor and to release a molten toner layer to a print substrate and a light source to expose a width of the surface carrying the liquid ink image to a light beam delivering enough power to transform the liquid ink image into a molten toner layer.
