ABSTRACT:
A computerized composing system includes a color transfer unit for selectively coloring portions of the printed output. Initially the operator places an original piece of artwork on an optical scanning digitizer. The digitized image is stored in a computer and displayed on a monitor screen or may be created, on screen, by the operator employing various features of the system software. Letters and numbers are then added to the display screen through a computer keyboard. A mouse or the keyboard can be used to edit the graphic and alphanumeric information on the composition until it is satisfactory to the operator. Therefore, what the operator sees on the screen is what the operator gets as a printed result. The composition is then transmitted to a laser printer. A color transfer unit integrated into the printer permits color to be transferred to the toner on the paper stock. A solenoid activated roller forces a web of transfer foil against the printed stock. A heated roller causes the top color layer of the web to transfer to the toner on the paper stock. Multiple colors can be produced by running the paper stock through the printer several times. The output can range in size from business cards to A4 and in colors from single color, such as black, to multiple colors.
