Imaging apparatus

An imaging process comprising

• depositing from a liquid developer toner particles on a support member to form a toner layer thereon;
• selectively delivering charges to the toner layer on said support member in an imagewise manner for forming an electrostatic latent image in the toner layer having image areas defined by a first charge voltage and nonimage areas defined by a second charge voltage distinguishable from the first charge voltage;
• and
• selectively separating portions of the toner layer from the support member in accordance with the latent image in the toner layer for creating a developed image, and wherein said liquid developer is comprised of a liquid, cotorant, resin, and a aluminum complex charge acceptance agent, and wherein said charge acceptance component Is capable of capturing either negative or positive ions.

An electrostatographic image development apparatus, comprising

• means for depositing a layer of marking particles on a support member;
• means for creating a selective electrical discharge in a vicinity of the layer of marking particles on the support member to selectively charge the layer of marking particles so as to create an electrostatic latent image in the layer of marking particles;
• and
• means for selectively separating portions of the layer of marking particles in accordance with the electrostatic latent image for creating a developed image corresponding to the electrostatic latent image formed in the layer of marking particles, and wherein said marking particles are comprised of a resin, colorant, and a aluminum complex charge acceptance component, and wherein said charge acceptance component is capable of capturing either negative or positive ions to provide either negatively or positively charged liquid developers respectively.
