Abstract: An imaging member is disclosed having a surface layer comprising a heat-sensitive material whose surface compatibility to printing agents, such as toners and inks, can be substantially reversed in response to small changes in temperature. The imaging member is suitable for use in lithographic and printing applications, permitting reversible switching between compatibility states of printing agents, such as between hydrophilic and hydrophobic states or oleophilic and oleophobic states, and enabling rapid production of images on a recording medium.

Abstract: An imaging system (8) including an image receiving structure (10) including a material layer (12) having a tunable energy transfer characteristic; and an energy source (16) to emit an energy beam (18) at the material having the tunable energy transfer characteristic such that marking material is pattern-wise transferred to the image receiving structure. An imaging system (8) includes an image receiving structure (10) disposed to be in direct contact with marking material (94); and an energy source to emit a pattern-wise modulated energy beam (100) at a region (112) of the image receiving structure contacting the marking material to pattern-wise transfer marking material to the image receiving structure.
