Abstract
A low cost and efficient system for magnetic ink character recognition provides a magnetic image over a non-magnetic toned image which can be an on-line or off-line component of an imaging apparatus. Magnetic ink is applied to selected characters from a thin film that includes a magnetic media by utilizing a heater member to promote release of the magnetic ink to the previously toned characters.
