Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006027264A1] The aim of the invention is to cure and gloss the toner images (403) applied and fixed to an image support, e.g. a final image support (402). Said aim is achieved by disposing a radiation source (601) behind the fixing station, said radiation source (601) directing UV radiation (602) with an IR component onto the image support (402). The toner material that contains curable components is cured and/or glossed in accordance with the selected wavelength by means of said radiation. In addition, the viscosity of the toner images can be increased in such a way that the transfer printing process can be performed using merely contact pressure.
