Abstract
A xerographic marking apparatus including a charge receptor member, means for creating an electrostatic latent image on the charge receptor member, means for developing the electrostatic latent image for making it visible, and means for transfering and fixing the visible image onto a transfer sheet. The means for developing comprises first means for electrostatically depositing a colorless adhesive developer material upon the electrostatic latent image, and second means for coloring the colorless adhesive developer material.
Claims23
A xerographic marking apparatus including a charge receptor member, means for creating an electrostatic latent image on said charge receptor member, means for developing said electrostatic latent image for making it visible, and means for transferring and fixing said visible image onto a transfer member, wherein said means for developing comprises
- first means for electrostatically depositing a colorless adhesive developer material upon said electrostatic latent image, and
- second means for coloring said colorless adhesive developer material including means for passing colorant particles into contact with said colorless adhesive developer material.
An imaging apparatus including, in operative relationship, an imaging means, means for generating an electrostatic latent image on said imaging means, and means for developing said electrostatic latent image, said means for developing comprising
- first means for electrostatically depositing a colorless adhesive developer material upon said electrostatic latent image, and
- second means for coloring said colorless adhesive developer material including means for passing colorant particles into contact with said colorless adhesive developer material.
A xerographic marking process including the steps of moving a charge receptor member in a recirculating manner, creating an electrostatic latent image on said charge receptor member, developing said electrostatic latent image for making it visible, transferring and fixing said visible image onto a transfer member, wherein said step of developing comprises
- electrostatically depositing a colorless adhesive developer material upon said electrostatic latent image, and
- coloring said colorless adhesive material by passing colorant particles into contact with said colorless adhesive developer material.
