摘要:
In an image forming method including the steps of electrostatically adhering light-transmissive particles onto the surface of a photoconductive substrate, exposing an image on the particles, and developing the image by separating the particles through which no light is transmitted from the particles through which light is transmitted in order to obtain a particle image consisting of one of the particle groups, the step of equalizing the potentials of the particles through which light is transmitted and those of the particles through which no light is transmitted is inserted between the exposure step and the development step. This additional step eliminates the defect in the conventional method in which degradation of color purity occurs at a thick color portion.
