ion deposition

    0.01 sec.
ion deposition
A printing technology used in high-speed page printers. It is similar to laser printing, except instead of using light to create a charged image on a drum, it uses a printhead that deposits positive ions. After negatively charged toner is attracted to the positive ions, the paper is pressed directly against the drum fusing toner to paper. Ion deposition quality approaches that of a laser printer; however, the ink has not been embedded as deeply, and the paper can smear more easily. See ion.

Ion deposition is limited in terms of quality and substrate range, she noted, but offers portability; inkjet has less portability but can accommodate a wider range of substrates and the quality is good; digital offset offers some new market opportunities (depending on the sales approach and growing commoditization), as well as flexibility and a superior print product, though it has limited spot color matching, she added.
This evolved from ion deposition and is used in very high-speed page printers exceeding 800 ppm, which at reviews of digital photo printers could not bee seen.
The Goldenedge process is said to represent the most advanced state-of-the-art in the process of reactive ion deposition (vacuum technology).
