ABSTRACT:
Intermediate transfer assemblies, and printing machines and methods which use such assemblies, which inductively dry liquid images on an intermediate transfer member. The assemblies include an intermediate transfer member that receives a liquid image which is comprised of a liquid carrier and toner particles. An induction coil assembly comprised of a ferromagnetic core wrapped with a plurality of turns of a conductive element and which is spaced apart from the intermediate transfer member creates alternating magnetic flux lines which create eddy currents in a conductive heating element, causing that element to heat. If the conductive heating element is part of the induction coil assembly heat is radiated onto the liquid image. If the conductive heating element is part of the intermediate transfer member the heat is conducted to the liquid image. In either case the heat dries the liquid image by causing the liquid carrier to evaporate.
