Abstract
A method for transferring a toner image on the surface of an image-bearing member obtained as a result of development with a conductive or semi-conductive toner material to the surface of a receptor member, which comprises bringing the surface of the receptor member into contact with the toner image on the surface of the image-bearing member and simultaneously applying a corona discharge to the back surface of the receptor member. The angle formed between the lines of electric force of the corona discharge and a line perpendicular to the receptor member does not exceed about 30 degrees.

A method for transferring a toner image on the surface of an image-bearing member comprising the steps of developing with a conductive or semiconductive toner material a latent electrostatic image on the surface of the image-bearing member to form a conductive or semiconductive toner image, bringing the surface of a receptor member into contact with the toner image on the surface of the image-bearing member and simultaneously applying a corona discharge to the back surface of the receptor member;
- wherein the angle formed between the lines of electric force of the corona discharge and a line perpendicular to the receptor member does not exceed about 30 degrees, whereby scattering of the conductive or semi-conductive toner material is prevented and a high quality transfer image having a sharp contour is provided on the surface of the receptor member.
A method for transferring a toner image on the surface of an image-bearing member comprising the steps of developing with a one component conductive or semi-conductive toner material an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the image-bearing member to form a conductive or semi-conductive toner image, bringing the surface of a receptor member into contact with the toner image on the surface of the image-bearing member and simultaneously applying a corona discharge to the back surface of the receptor member by means such that the angle formed between the lines of the electric force of the corona discharge and a line perpendicular to the surface of the receptor member is less than about 30.degree., whereby scattering of the conductive or semiconductive toner material is prevented and a high quality transfer image having a sharp contour is provided on the surface of the receptor member.
