Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9008984A1] An apparatus for enhancement of liquid toner image transfer includes an image bearing surface, apparatus for forming a liquid toner image on the image bearing surface, a second surface arranged for movement relative to the image bearing surface whereby regions of the image bearing surface and the second surface sequentially come into propinquity and subsequently move out of propinquity. The apparatus for enhancement further includes potential impression apparatus associated with at least one portion of at least one of the image bearing surfaces and the second surface for impressing a potential on said at least one portion and apparatus for energizing the potential impression apparatus only when said at least one portion is located at predetermined locations along the pathway, thereby to provide image rigidization.
