Abstract

A method of printing wherein magnetic particles dispersed in an ink are selectively orientated prior to printing onto a document where the particles are aligned on a carrier while the ink is in a low viscous state and the printing is effected when the ink is in a high viscous state. The method by which the viscosity is changed is the selective application of heat.
