摘要:
A development station in an electrostatographic imaging machine may be controlled to improve toner halftone dot development over a wide range of environmental conditions. The development station includes a developer housing for retaining a quantity of developer having semi-conductive carrier particles and toner particles, a first magnetic roll having a stationary core with at least one magnet and a sleeve having longitudinal grooves that rotates about the stationary core of the first magnetic roll to present developer on one side of the first magnetic roll to the photoreceptor, a second magnetic roll having a stationary core with at least one magnet and a sleeve having longitudinal grooves that rotates about the stationary core of the second magnetic roll to receive developer from the first magnetic roll and present developer on one side of the second magnetic roll to the photoreceptor, the second magnetic roll being vertically displaced from the first magnetic roll so that a gap exists between the first and the second magnetic rolls, an environmental sensor for generating an environmental condition signal, a variable voltage supply coupled to the first magnetic roll and the second magnetic roll, and a control circuit for adjusting an output level for the variable voltage supply in response to the environmental condition signal.

A system and accompanying method for creating a securely printed document using curable toners. The system includes a first radiation source configured to expose a first radiation to a printing substrate having an applied amount of toner, thereby liquefying the toner into a molten state, a curing station, a first feeder configured to feed the printing substrate into the curing station, and a second feeder configured to feed the embossing substrate into the curing station, wherein the embossing substrate comprises a pattern to be imprinted into the toner. The curing station includes a combiner configured to press the printing substrate and an embossing substrate together, a second radiation source configured to expose a second radiation to the combined substrates, and a divider configured to separate the printing substrate from the embossing substrate.
