摘要:
An image processing apparatus, which improves the image quality in gradation control, measures the density of a specified gradation pattern formed on a photosensitive drum with a photosensor and prepares a look-up table for gamma correction, based on thus measured density. Formation of a pseudo-contour is prevented by control of the inclination of the gamma correction curve represented by the data of the look-up table.

The present invention concerns output sheet having optical transparency of an image forming device which supports a toner image and then fixes the toner image by passing through a heating fixing device, and an image forming device by use of such sheet. For enabling detection of the conveying state of the sheet at high precision, a colored ink containing metallic powder is printed at a part of the sheet to provide a mark portion for recognition.

An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member on which a toner image is formed; transfer material carrying member for carrying thereon a transfer material; a transfer device for transferring the toner image from the image bearing member to a transfer material carried on the transfer material carrying member at a transfer position; a discharging device disposed downstream of the transfer position in a movement direction of the transfer material carrying member for acting on the transfer material on the transfer material carrying member corresponding to separation of the transfer material from the transfer material carrying member, the discharging device includes a first discharger, disposed at a transfer material carrying side of the transfer material carrying member and supplied with a voltage having a DC component of a polarity which is the same as the polarity of the toner image upon an image transfer operation.
摘要:
A developing device for developing an electrostatic latent image includes a rotatable developer carrying member for carrying a developer composed of toner particles and magnetic carrier particles, wherein the developer carrying member rotates through a supply position where the developer is supplied to a surface of the developer carrying member, a regulating position where a regulating member for regulating a thickness of a layer of the developer on the surface is disposed, a developing position where the electrostatic latent image is developed, and a removing position for removing the developer remaining on the surface after a developing operation, in the order named. A stationary magnet is disposed in the developer carrying member. The magnet includes a developing magnetic pole for forming a magnetic field at the developing position, and a plurality of conveying magnetic poles disposed between the supply position and the regulating position, wherein a peak of magnetic flux density of each of the conveying magnetic poles is 10-49% of a peak of the magnetic flux density of the developing magnetic pole.

摘要:
An image forming apparatus having a photosensitive drum and a transfer drum including a transfer member carrying sheet substantially contacting the photosensitive drum. In order to enable a toner image formed on the photosensitive drum to be efficiently transferred to a transfer member, the apparatus has a pressing sheet for outwardly pressing the transfer member carrying sheet from the interior of the transfer drum and a conductive member provided on the side of the pressing sheet adjacent the transfer member carrying sheet. The conductive member serves to realize a uniform distribution of surface potential on the pressing sheet and to maintain the surface potential constant, so that the intensity of the electric field applied to the corona discharge is made constant at a low level so that a stable transfer corona is applied to the transfer member carrying sheet, thus ensuring good quality of the transferred image.
