Explanation: it is a process used in solid ink printers, ink is wax based and the printer melts it down in a drum or reservoir, then the melt wax is fused or transefered to the paper (this is cold fusing)

Alaa, I think صهر is always associated with usage of heat in the direct process of applying the image to paper, I would prefer دمج simply because in this phase of processing the image we are actually sticking/fixing/glueing/applying
the wax based ink to paper, of course if the case is laser printing which involves melting down the the toner when the image is already transfered to the paper and waiting for fusing (melting) and discharge I would then use صهر
Very helpful thanks. I was looking for one word that would fit with all printing technologies. It seems that دمج provides the most fexibility. Thanks also to everyone who contributed. 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
A printing technology which uses very fine electro-magnetically charged particles (usually called toner). The particles are dispersed onto the paper and heated to a temperature that causes these particles to become embedded into the paper. This process is called fusing.
Fusing Process used to permanently affix the toner particles to the copy paper. Most commonly, heat and pressure applied by a heat lamp inside two rollers.
