The way it used to be done (at least 10 years ago, that's as current as 
I can give you :-)  ) is it's printed in black in some 'normal' manner, 
then it gets a clear plastic powder that melts at temperature.  The page 
is flashed with some energy that is absorbed by the ink, which heats up 
and melts the plastic powder, and the rest of the powder is (hopefully) 
recycled.
