Abstract
A process and apparatus are presented for making in-situ an energy sensitive surface on a passive support medium from at least two materials which in combination render said surface energy sensitive, comprising means for forming a separate mist of each of said materials and causing said separate mist to simultaneously contact said support media so that said materials controllably mix as they strike said medium. The particular process is utilized in a printing, copying and or recording environment wherein, said energy sensitive surface is formed on-line immediately prior to exposing said surface to an energy source. Said mists may be mixed at the point of contact with said medium or premixed within said mist forming means prior to striking said support medium.
