Zusammenfassung:A digital printing process for xerography printing with liquid toner, said liquid toner comprising a curable carrier liquid and imaging particles suspended in the carrier liquid, wherein said process comprises: forming a latent image as a pattern of electric charge on a surface of a rotating imaging member; transferring the liquid toner onto a rotating development member; developing the latent image by transferring liquid toner from the development member onto the imaging member in accordance with the pattern; transferring the liquid toner from the imaging member to a substrate absorbing carrier liquid of the transferred liquid toner; and heating the liquid toner to at least a temperature at which the imaging particles form a polymer melt; and irradiating the substrate with particle beams to cure the carrier liquid of the transferred liquid toner.
