Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of correcting the surface of a photoconductor during multicolor development processes wherein the sensitivity to color acceptance during exposure is varied by the developer of the previous steps, the invention residing in the color correction between development and exposure steps of either the whole surface or the image surface only by either including with a developer, or applying independently, a sensitizing dye in the next color exposure.
