US Patent:

53525582, Oct 4, 1994

Filed:

Apr 12, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/082141

Inventors:

Robert Simms - Downingtown PA
Tab Tress - Henrietta NY
Dana Smith - Wilmington DE

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G03G 2100

US Classification:

430125

Abstract:

A device for increasing the solids content of an image formed from liquid developer comprising a belt which is comprised of an absorption material containing small pores to absorb dispersant from a dispersant laden image and a pair of rollers bearing the belt wherein the belt on one of the rollers contacts a dispersant laden image bearing portion of an image carrying member such as a photoreceptor drum or an intermediate sheet.

Abstract:

Process for reversal development of a latent electrostatic image in a layer on a conductive support by developing with an electrostatic developer having electrostatically charged toner particles by (a) generating imagewise areas in the layer having different rates of charge decay and/or charge acceptance, (b) charging the layer, (c) allowing formation of an electrostatic image corresponding to the imagewise generated areas by differential charge decay and/or charge acceptance, (d) creating an electrical field to attract toner particles preferentially to the areas of lesser charge, and (e) developing the areas of lesser charge with electrostatically charged toner particles having the same polarity as that of the charged layer. The developed image can be transferred to a receptor surface, e. g. , paper. The process is useful with many type photosensitive masters in preparing reversal images with the use of only one master, toner and film original.
