Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1217458A2] Method for controlling the glare on an image carrier substrate (9) such as paper in which after the toner image has been fixed on the substrate by heating, the toner image is again heated so that its surface or the region near to its surface is either completely, or nearly completely melted. The length and duration of the melting is dependent on the desired glare to be produced by the toner image. An Independent claim is made for a digital imaging device especially an electrographic or an electrophotographic printer or copier with a radiation device such as a xenon or mercury-xenon discharge lamp for providing electromagnetic heating of the toner image.
