Abstract
The invention relates to a process for electrophotographic color image development by which charge images are rendered visible by electrophoretic deposition of color zones on a continuously moving image carrier-band in development stations, using contact electrodes, development electrodes and blocking nozzles for the developer liquid whereby the development of the image in the development station is carried out with a substantial deviation .alpha. of the direction of movement of the image carrier from the horizontal.
Claims14
A process for electrophotographic colour image development by which charge images are rendered visible by electrophoretic deposition of colour toners on a continuously moving image carrier in the form of a band in at least two development stations, using contact electrodes, and development electrodes wherein the improvement comprises using blocking nozzles for the developer liquid, and that the development of the image in each development station is carried out with a deviation angle .alpha. of 0.degree. to 50.degree. of the direction of movement of the image carrier from the horizontal plane.
