ABSTRACT:
An encapsulated liquid toner apparatus and method for printing. The encapsulated liquid toner apparatus and method for printing operates by selectively depositing ink filled microcapsules to a print medium. The microcapsules have a mixture of pigment particles, drying agents, and an ester oil contained within a hard brittle outer shell. The outer shell formed from a urea resoricnol formaldehyde material is crushed which releases ink within the microcapsule onto the print medium. One embodiment of the invention deposits the microcapsules on the print medium through an electrophotographic process. Another embodiment deposits the microcapsules through a toner ejection process.
