Abstract (en)

A device for direct electrostatic printing is provided comprising means for creating a flow of charged toner particles from a means for delivering charged toner particles, having a surface bearing toner particles, to an image receiving substrate, applying a DC potential difference between the means for delivering charged toner particles and the image receiving substrate and a printhead structure having control electrodes, interposed in the flow of toner particles for image wise controlling the flow of toner particles, the printhead structure controlling the flow of toner particles only from one side, wherein means for applying an AC-field on the surface bearing toner particles are incorporated, AC-field having a frequency between 1.5 and 3 kHz. <IMAGE>
