Method for producing developed electrostatic images using multiple toner fountains

摘要

The present invention is to a method of producing a high resolution image on an electrostatic printer by (a) providing an electrostatic printer having at least five toner fountains; (b) providing a set of at least five liquid toners each having a desired color, the set comprising at least one reduced density toner and at least one dark toner, where the reduced density toner is either white or has the same color, but a lower color density, as at least one other toner in the set, and the dark toner is either black or has the same color but a higher color density as at least one other toner in the set; (c) forming an electrostatic image on a substrate that corresponds to that portion of a final image that is formed from one of the toner colors; (d) developing the electrostatic image with the appropriate color toner; and (e) forming the final image by repeating (b) and (c) for each color toner.
