Abstract
A method for reducing rub-off from a substrate having a front side and a back side with the front side, back side, or both sides bearing toner images, by depositing a substantially clear phase change composition on the front side, back side, or both sides of the substrate as a plurality of dots using a ribbon printer or a diffusion process printer, with the plurality of dots cumulatively covering an area of the front side, back side, or both sides sufficient to reduce rub-off from the toner image bearing sides. The dots may also be applied only to the images rather than both the image-bearing and non-image-bearing surfaces of the substrate.
