A method for ink-jet ink

An indirect printing method for printing a gel ink. The method includes providing a Geltintenzusammensetzung in an ink jet printing apparatus. A gel ink drops are ejected in an imagewise pattern onto an intermediate transfer member, each ink droplet forms a substantially circular image on the transfer member. The ink drops are gelled and dried or solidified to form a substantially dry ink pattern on the intermediate transfer member. The substantially dry ink pattern is transferred from the intermediate transfer member to a final substrate.
