An apparatus is provided for drying a liquid image carried on a surface of a medium moving along a predetermined path from an upstream location towards a downstream location. The apparatus includes an air moving device, such as a blower, that moves air. A plenum has an intake that receives air and an outlet permitting the air to exit the plenum. A channel structure communicates with the outlet of the plenum and is disposed generally adjacent to a surface of the medium carrying the image. The channel structure includes an upstream channel portion and a downstream channel portion such that air exiting the outlet of the plenum is diverted to flow towards the upstream location in the upstream channel portion and towards the downstream location in the downstream channel portion. A heater is associated with the medium to heat at least a portion of the medium and thus the image. A method of drying a liquid image on a surface of a medium is also provided.

A dryer uses a two-phase drying system having a brief water condensation interval, followed by impinging parallel laminar recirculating hot air jets which impinge on wet ink to increase the copy rate of inkjet printing and to increase the quality of the printed image.

An image forming system and method of using the system includes a development station for developing an image, a replenishing source that stores toner mixed to a desired color and comprising at least two toner component colors, a conditioning station that conditions the toner before sending the toner to a developing station, and a drawing device that draws a portion of the toner in the conditioning station. The drawing device will remove a portion of at least one component color of the toner until the desired color is suitable for developing. The system and method will help to produce images of a desired color in liquid immersion development of color prints. With the use of the drawing device, consistent colored images can be achieved while reducing waste of toner.

A system includes at least one movable image bearing member transporting a latent image in an electrophotographic printing system. A developer station associated with the at least one image bearing member deposits a developed image on the latent image. The developed image includes toner particles and carrier liquid. A transfer station associated with the at least one image bearing member transfers the developed image to a receiving medium. A liquid removal station disposed between the developer station and the transfer station includes a source of high fluid pressure emitting an open-air jet of fluid for directly and/or indirectly removing at least a portion of the carrier liquid from the developed image.

A dryer assembly for drying a liquid ink image formed on a substrate comprising a housing defining a portion of a sheet moving path; a plenum positioned within the housing, the plenum including air flow and outlet means contiguous to the plenum permitting forced air to exit the plenum, the outlet being in the form of a plurality of moving openings adapted to direct flowing air through the openings to the liquid image, the openings moving relative to the image; and a substrate transport device for moving the substrate carrying the liquid ink image on a front side thereof through the housing and under the plurality of moving openings. The dryer assembly has particular use in an ink jet printing system.

A ferromagnetic layer is bonded to, or coated on, or in other manner applied to, the surface of a heatable fuser member for fusing dry toner in an image forming device. The ferromagnetic layer promotes inductive heating of the heatable fuser member based on high hysteresis loss exhibited when the ferromagnetic layer is exposed to a magnetic field created by the current flowing through an induction coil or other like device. Suitable materials for the ferromagnetic layer are those which exhibit a high coupling efficiency to the imposed magnetic field. A result is substantially controllable, consistent heating of the heatable fuser member to fuse dry toner onto or into the image bearing surface of an image receiving medium.

A fast acting fusing method and apparatus are provided for (a. ) first moving a certain quantity of working liquid within a fusing heat pipe device from a heat transferring region of the fusing heat pipe device to an induction heating region of the fusing heat pipe device for maximizing liquid-to-device wall contact area within the induction heating region; (b. ) using inductor heating coils to apply heat to the induction heating region of the fusing heat pipe device for heating the working liquid within the induction heating region; (c. ) allowing heated vapors from the working liquid being heated within the induction heating region to move into the heat transferring region of the fusing heat pipe device for heating the heat transferring region; (d. ) using a controller to compare heating of the heat transferring region of the fusing heat pipe device to a given heating value; and (e. ) next moving the certain quantity of working liquid back from the induction heating region to the heat transferring region when heating of the heat transferring region of the fusing heat pipe device reaches the given heating value.

A coated member includes a substrate and a coating layer over the substrate where the coating layer includes at least one of ferromagnetic and magnetic particles dispersed in a binder. The member, which is suitable for use in an electrostatographic printing process, can be in the form of a fuser member, a fixing member, a pressure roller, or a release agent donor member.
