A method of creating high-speed multi-color process images. The method includes
providing at least two high operating frequency printheads which are capable of
processing phase-change inks, providing at least two phase-change inks, providing
a substrate, activating the printheads such that at least two inks pass therethrough,
and passing the substrate under the printheads at a rate of at least about 1000
feet per minute so as at least one process image is formed on the substrate. The
present invention also includes a process for achieving high-speed crockfast process
printing on a material with phase-change ink. The process includes providing at
least an array of printheads capable of processing phase-change inks at frequencies
of at least about 20 kHz, providing a material, providing a material transport
system capable of transporting the material under the printheads, providing a plurality
of phase-change inks, transporting material under the array printheads at a speed
of at least 1000 ft/min, and ejecting ink from at least two of the printheads onto
the material so as to form an image.
