Dielectric coating for recording member

A recording member suitable for use in an electrographic recording system for recording toner images on a recording member, said system including first and second opposed electrodes spaced apart to define a recording region therebetween, means for driving the recording member through said recording region, and a means for transporting magnetically attractable, electronically conductive toner powder from a toner reservoir to said recording region to selectively deposit on said recording member in response to the selective application of voltage pulses across said electrodes, said recording member comprising a conductive substrate bearing a dielectric coating comprising a polymetric material containing a conductive metal complex therein wherein said metal complex is present in said dielectric coating an amount sufficient that the resistivity of the dielectric recording member is sufficiently high to prevent so much charge from flowing off the toner powder into the recording member at such a rate as to reduce the electrical force to a level insufficient to overcome the magnetic force in image areas.
