Electrostatic latent images are developed in a liquid electrophoretic developer, and during the development, developer immediately adjacent the image whose toner concentration has become depleted is removed from the image area and replaced by fresh developer. Images are thereby more fully developed to the extent of the electrostatic charge, eliminating edge and halo effects that result from incomplete development and the preferential attraction of toner to areas of higher electrostatic charge over adjacent areas of lower charge.
