Abstract
A method of xeroprinting in which a master sheet is secured to a drum to create a drum-sheet unit. The drum-sheet unit is installed in a master-creating apparatus where a xeroprinting master is created on the master sheet. The drum-sheet unit is then removed from the master-creating apparatus and installed in a xeroprinting apparatus. The xeroprinting apparatus forms a visible image on the xeroprinting master. The visible image is transferred and fixed to a receiver sheet. This method may be used to make color prints. Several color separation xeroprinting masters are created and the toned images created from them are superimposed in registered alignment with each other onto a receiver sheet to create a multicolor print.

- securing a master sheet to a drum to create a drum-sheet unit;
- creating a xeroprinting master on said master sheet in a master-creating apparatus;
- removing said drum-sheet unit from said master-creating apparatus;
- installing said drum-sheet unit in a xeroprinting apparatus separate from said master-creating apparatus;
- and
- forming a plurality of xeroprints from said xeroprinting master in said xeroprinting apparatus.

- securing at least two master sheets to at least two drums, one master sheet being secured to each drum, to create at least two drum-sheet units;
- for each said drum-sheet unit:
- (a) creating a color separation xeroprinting master on said master sheet in a master-creating apparatus;
- and
- (b) removing said drum-sheet unit from said master-creating apparatus;
