A method for reducing edge effect (white gapping) between objects formed on a photoconductive member of an imaging device includes, during processing of a given color plane, partially exposing the photoconductive member for all image data that specifies a color to be developed on at least one color plane but that specifies no color to be developed on the given color plane. As such, the partial exposing does not enable development of that image data during image processing of the given color plane. By partially exposing objects that do not include a color to be developed on the color plane currently being processed, and while normally exposing adjacent objects that include a color to be developed on the current color plane, the lateral electric field effects between the objects is reduced and, thus, toner development for the given color plane is more edge precise for reduced white gapping between the objects.
