Improved toner image transfer methods and apparatus therefor are provided in accordance with the teachings of the present invention wherein a transfer member is charged using ion charging techniques and then is brought into physical contact with a portion of a toner image on a photoreceptor so that such toner image may be selectively transferred onto the transfer member. Ionization of the gap between the charged transfer member and the portion of the photoreceptor having said toner image thereon is avoided by bringing said charged transfer member into physical contact with the portion of the toner image within a time interval which is less than the time interval required by the ion charging source employed to ionize the gap between the portion of the photoreceptor and the approaching transfer member.
