ABSTRACT:
A printer combines the technologies of xerographic and thermal ink jet printing into a unit which is capable of high resolution text and color graphics. The printer is capable of forming a composite image including a xerographic printing portion and a Thermal Ink Jet (TIJ) printing portion by printing the xerographic portion using known xerographic techniques and the thermal ink jet portion by a thermal ink jet printing array associated with the printer. The portions may be printed in any order and may be dried by a drying station after printing of each portion or after both portions have been printed. At least one thermal ink jet printing array can serve as an annotator which is capable of printing additional information onto a copy such as company letterhead, special instructions, addresses or the like.
