A electrostatic recorder for recording input signals upon a recording medium having a surface coated with a conductive, electrostatically chargeable material is shown including an electrostatic charging device of the corona discharge type for evenly charging the coated surface of the recording medium. The charged surface is exposed to focused electromagnetic radiation which is transversely displaced across the recording medium for discharging the exposed portion thereof in accordance with the input signal to be recorded. The recording medium is then coated with a suspension fluid containing toner particles applied across the full surface thereof by an applicator arranged as a squeegee. The toner particles are attracted to the electrostatic charge gradient formed between the electrostatically charged surface of the recording medium and the discharged portion thereof.
