ECTROSTATIC IMAGE FORMS A DEVELOPABLE IMAGE IN A SILVER SALT

摘要

A process of rendering visible electrostatic charge patterns is described. The process involves the formation of a charge pattern on a charge-retaining member which is then placed in contact with an unexposed silver salt-containing element to form a latent image on the element which is then processed by standard photographic techniques to form a visible silver image. The process eliminates detrimental solvent and abrasive action which occur in standard electrophotographic development techniques.
