摘要:
An image forming method which forms a two color toner image or an image made up of two types of toners of the same color includes forming a first image with discharged area development (DAD) and a second image with charged area development (CAD). Resolution and sharpness of the first toner image is improved if the second toner image is formed by imagewise exposing a photoconductive member through a transparent base. Scavenging of the first toner image by the development of the second toner image and other aspects of the method are improved by use of a rotating magnetic core to drive a developer containing hard magnetic carrier in a soft brush through contact with the electrostatic image.

A two-component type developer for developing an electrostatic image is constituted by at least a toner and a magnetic carrier. The toner has a weight-average particle size D4 of 1 - 10 µm, a number-average particle size D1 and such a particle size distribution that particles having size of at most D1/2 occupy at most 20 % by number and particles having sizes of at least D4x2 occupy at most 10 % by volume. The magnetic carrier has a number-average particle size of 1 - 100 µm and contains at most 20 % by number of particles having sizes in the range of at most a half of the number-average particle size, the magnetic carrier has a resistivity of at least 1x10¹ ohm.cm and has a core having a resistivity of at least 1x10¹⁰ ohm.cm, and the magnetic carrier has a magnetization at 1 kilo-oersted of 30 - 150 emu/g.
摘要:
An electrophotographic printing machine in which an electrostatic latent image is recorded on a photoconductive surface (10). One portion of the latent image is a discharged area with the other portion of the latent image being a charged area. The discharged image area is developed with toner particles of a first colour and polarity by a first developer unit (32). No greater than 2% by volume of these toner particles have a diameter greater than about 20 microns. The first developer unit (32) generates a weak magnetic field in the development zone and a strong magnetic field at the entrance and exit of the development zone. A second developer unit (34) develops the charged image area with toner of a second colour and polarity. The colours of the toners are different from one another.

Apparatus and method of forming plural images, wherein the method includes the steps of: uniformly charging (24) a charge retentive belt (10); discharging (25) portions of the uniformly charged belt to form relatively high and low voltage areas of the same polarity on the belt; providing a high resolution development system (32); providing an electrical bias (41) for said development system such that a relatively large development field is provided between said developer structure forming a part of the development system and the relatively low voltage; using the high resolution development system, developing the areas of relatively low voltage with first toner material contained in the developer structure; discharging (48) portions of the relatively high voltage areas of the charge retentive belt to form areas at a voltage level intermediate the relatively high and low voltage areas; and developing (34) the areas of high voltage level with a second toner material which is distinct and of opposite polarity from said first toner material.
摘要:
A color image forming method by superimposing plural kinds of toner with different colors on a surface of a photoreceptor body is disclosed. The surface of the photoreceptor is uniformly pre-charged with an electricity. A kind of toner is selected accroding to a predetermined order. A latent image corresponding to the selected toner, and consequently corresponding to a selected color, is formed on the surface by a photo-electric exposure. A toner image is formed by developing the latent image with the selected toner. By repeating the above two steps with regard to succeeding colors and kinds of toners till all kinds of toner having been developed. In repeating the development, following formulas are satisfied under the supposition that (Q/M)n is an amount of electrification of toner used in the n-th development.
