Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0938975A2] A method of offset printing in an ink jet printer (10), the method comprising the steps of: (a) forming an ink image on a preliminary receiving surface (9); (b) passing a final receiving substrate (11) through a first nip (32) where it comes into contact with the preliminary receiving surface (9); (c) exerting a first pressure on the final receiving substrate (11) in the first nip (32) to transfer the ink image from the preliminary receiving surface (9) to the final receiving substrate (11); (d) passing the final receiving substrate (11) through a second nip (39); and (e) exerting a second pressure on the final receiving substrate (11) in the second nip (39) to fuse the ink image into the final receiving substrate (11). <IMAGE>
