Abstract
A system for printing is described. The system uses at least one cantilever, and more typically a plurality of cantilever to transfer charge, either to or from a dielectric surface. The resulting charge distribution represents an image. Toner deposited over the dielectric surface is attracted to the charged portions of the dielectric. Thus the toner also forms the image. The toner image is then transferred and affixed to a printing surface.
Claims22
A material distribution system to distribute a material comprising:
- a first cantilever that alters charge distribution on a dielectric surface;
- and,
- a dispenser apparatus to deposit a material over the dielectric surface such that the charge on the dielectric surface controls the material distribution over the dielectric surface.
A direct xerographic printing system comprising:
- a first cantilever to alter a charge distribution on a dielectric surface;
- and,
- a dispenser apparatus to deposit toner over the dielectric surface, the toner to approximately match the charge distribution.
A system for fabricating a pharmaceutical product comprising:
- a cantilever that controls a distribution of change on a dielectric surface;
- and,
- a dispenser apparatus to deposit the pharmaceutical product over the dielectric surface such that the distribution of charge controls the distribution of pharmaceutical product over the dielectric surface.
