LARGE-PARTICLE INKJET DISCHARGED-AREA DEVELOPMENT PRINTING

摘要

A method of producing a print on a recording medium includes receiving negative image data for the print to be produced. A selected region of the recording medium is discharged. Charged fluid is deposited in a selected charged-fluid pattern corresponding to the negative image data on the selected region of the recording medium. Charged dry ink having charge of the same sign as the charge in the deposited charged-fluid pattern is deposited onto the recording medium. The deposited dry ink is repelled by the charged-fluid pattern and adheres to the recording medium outside the charged-fluid pattern.
