Abstract:
A liquid development imaging system with a cycling imaging surface to which is cyclically applied a film forming insulating solid that wets the imaging surface and sharply liquefies with low melt viscosity at a temperature above ambient operation temperature. The added solid permits relative ease in cleaning and the ability to cycle the imaging surface without complete cleaning.
Abstract:
IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT UPON THE ADDITION AN AROMATIC COMPOUND, PREFERABLY AN ARYL AMINE COMPOUND TO A PHENOL-ALDEHYDE TYPE RESIN THAT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO FORM EXCELLENT SURFACE DEFORMATION IMAGES OF ENHANCED QUALITY ON THE SURFACE OF THE LATTER MATERIALS. THUS, UPON THE ADDITION OF THE SPECIFIED ADDITIVE TO A PHENOL-ALDEHYDE TYPE RESIN THE FROST CHARACTERISTICS THEREOF ARE SUBSTANTIALLY ENHANCED.
Abstract:
An electrostatographic imaging surface is cleaned of liquid developer by selectively applying to the charged or image areas of the imaging surface a finely divided, dry, absorbent powder. The powder may be selectively applied by charging the powder to a polarity opposite that which the imaging surface bears and presenting a charged powder loaded applicator adjacent the imaging surface such that the charged powder is transferred to the imaging surface with an electrostatic assist from the residual charge on the imaging surface.
Abstract:
A color electrophotographic imaging process is disclosed employing uniquely distinct developer materials. Specific cyan, yellow, and magenta developers which uniquely cooperate to form true color images in an electrophotographic process are described. The electrophotographic processes employing these developers are also disclosed.
Abstract:
AN ELECTROSTATOGRAPIC IMAGING SYSTEM WHEREIN A HYDROGENEATED VEGETABLE OIL DERIVATIVE IS ADDED TO THE PHOTOCONDUCTOR SURFACE IN THE PRESENCE OF A LIQUID DEVELOPER. THE ADDITIVE MAY BE SEPARATELY ADDED OR BE DISPERSED IN THE LIQUID DEVELOPER AND TO PROVIDE IMPROVED CYCLING ABILITY OF THE IMAGING SURFACE.
Abstract:
A carrier for electrostatographic developers comprising carrier particles comprising metals, metal alloys, metal compounds and mixtures thereof treated with a strongly adhering adsorbable organic dye. This carrier is used with toner particles to develop electrostatic latent images.
Abstract:
Phthalocyanine electrostatographic photoreceptors are subject to cycling fatigue effects when toners containing acidic channel black carbon are used. These fatigue effects are substantially reduced by the use of neutral or alkaline carbon blacks, such as furnace blacks.
Abstract:
An electrophotographic material is disclosed comprising a support substrate and an inorganic crystalline photoconductive insulating layer. The photoconductive coating comprises a photoconductive material and an inorganic crystalline binder.
Abstract:
IN LIQUID DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS, CYCLING ELECTROSTATOGRAPHIC IMAGING SURFACES ARE SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETELY CLEANED OF DEVELOPER REMAINING ON THE SURFACE AFTER TRANSFER TO COPY PAPER BY CYCLICALLY CONTACTING THE IMAGING SURFACE WITH A SMALL QUANTITY OF HIGHLY ABSORBENT DRY POWDER AND REMOVING THE POWDER FROM THE IMAGING SURFACE AFTER THE POWDER HAS ABSORBED THE RESIDUAL LIQUID DEVELOPER.
