Laser ablation removes writing from used paper, enabling clean sheet reuse while reducing paper waste and resource depletion.
A nested two-sided electrode layout improves electromagnetic wave transfer to ejected liquid, expanding the heating region for faster drying.
Digital foil and UV-curable polymer layers receive a matte coating to create metallic and embossed effects without matte foil or mechanical embossing.
Digital foil under a matte coating creates matte metallic prints without costly, less available matte foil.
A transfer promotion liquid containing rosin particles and controlled alkali metal ions enhances intermediate image adhesion.
A decoloring apparatus extracts difference image data by comparing pre-heated and post-heated sheets to isolate handwritten content.
A marking apparatus adjusts decoloration marks based on detected medium type to optimize reuse tracking.
A decoloring apparatus resumes reading after errors to combine partial image data for complete storage.
Incorporating IR-absorbing carbon black into marking materials enables differential gloss generation without compromising visible color quality.
