ABSTRACT
The transitions of radiation properties of a toner-particle bed during the fusing process in electronic printing were investigated. The bidirectional transmittance and reflectance for the bed before fusing, a slightly fused bed and the completely fixed bed were measured. The radiation properties were estimated, as an inverse problem, from a comparison between the experimental and numerical results. The results show that the optical thickness and the scattering albedo vary during the fusing process, depending on the change of the shape of the toner particle.
