Abstract

A method to form a seven-color CMYKRGB or eight-color CMYKRGBW image having reduced toner pile height than in conventional four-color xerography, resulting in more uniform image gloss. The method includes the steps of: forming first spot next to spot toner images by placing spots of toner of a first color next to spots of toner of a second color on a first photoconductive member; forming second spot next to spot toner images by placing spots of toner of a third color next to spots of toner of a four color a second photoconductive member, and transferring said first and second spot next to spot images to form a composite spot next to spot image on an intermediate imaging member.
