摘要:
Disclosed are ionographic imaging apparatuses and processes. One apparatus comprises an imaging means, means for applying to the imaging means a liquid material capable of forming a dielectric peel layer adhering to the imaging means, ionographic writing means for generating a latent image on the peel layer, means for developing the latent image on the peel layer, and means for simultaneously transferring the peel layer bearing the developed image from the imaging means to a substrate and affixing the peel layer bearing the developed image to the substrate. In another embodiment, the apparatus employs a process which comprises applying to an imaging means a liquid material capable of forming a dielectric peel layer adhering to the imaging means, forming a first latent image on the peel layer with an ionographic writing means, developing the first latent image with a first developer, forming a second latent image on the peel layer containing the first developed image with an ionographic writing means, developing the second latent image with a second developer, forming a third latent image on the peel layer containing the first and second developed images with an ionographic writing means, developing the third latent image with a third developer, and simultaneously transferring the portion of the peel layer that bears the developed images to a substrate and affixing the peel layer bearing the developed images to the substrate. A further embodiment is directed to an apparatus and process for sequentially forming and developing primary color images on an imaging means to form a full color image, followed by trasnsferring the fully formed image to a substrate, wherein the developers employed contain a release agent.
摘要:
The present invention provides an apparatus for forming a uniform layer of liquid developer which apparatus includes, for example, a coater for depositing liquid developer on a first movable substrate to form a first toner layer; a second movable substrate for contacting the first toner layer on the first substrate to form a uniformly thin second toner layer on the first substrate, wherein the directional movement of the first movable substrate surface is contrary to the directional movement of the second movable substrate surface, and wherein at least one of the first substrate surface and the second substrate surface conforms to an opposing surface; and a photoactive member for receipt and formation of latent image thereon and for receipt of a toner layer for development of the latent image by the toner layer.
摘要:
An imaging system for effecting electrostatic printing of an image, wherein the imaging system includes at least one contact electrostatic printing engine operable in a novel fashion upon a copy substrate, wherein the contact electrostatic printing engine images and develops an electrostatic latent image representative of the image on an imaging member, and subsequently transfers the developed image from the imaging member to the copy substrate in a direct adhesive transfer step.
