Reactive inks and methods are presented to generate an image on a substrate using reactive and heat activated inks; an image is printed on a substrate, without reacting the agents in the ink; subsequently, the reagents are reacted to fix the image to a substrate, with substantial permanence and speed; sublimation or similar heat activated dyes are also printed on the substrate; sublimation or similar heat activated dyes are activated and have a polymer affinity that is applied to the substrate. |
