Abstract
A printing method is provided that includes providing a substrate, such as paper or the like, and placing an image over the substrate, by ink jet printing. The resultant inked image is then fixed, such that it can not be smeared, smudged or distorted on the substrate, by placing a coating over at least the image. This method is also designed for use with offset printing equipment, and thus, eliminates problems associated with drying and set-off of the ink jet ink, permitting such a machine to include an ink jet head, and to be run to produce impressions at normal offset press speeds.
