Abstract

An apparatus for digitally generating an image comprises a photoconductor assembly (136) , a corona assembly (140), and a light source assembly (166) to generate a latent image on the photoconductor. The apparatus also includes a developer assembly (144) that includes a developer, such as powder paint, to generate an image. The apparatus may include a fuser (150) for generating a film image. The apparatus of the present invention may include a cartridge for storing and digitally applying adhesive (719, 819, 919) to the image. Furthermore, the apparatus of the present invention includes a controller (152) for selectively controlling voltages to control thickness of the image. Additionally, apparatus may include a consumable sheet (839, 939) to remove excess adhesive from the substrate.
