Apparatus for forming images on a charge-retentive surface including uncharged toner particles which are applied to electrostatic latent images formed on the surface. The latent image is formed on the charge-retentive surface by exposing a charged surface to a light pattern of an image to be reproduced. Prior to image exposure, the charge pattern comprises a periodic line screen pattern which is formed by means of a conductive charging brush having a suitable bias voltage applied thereto at a frequency suitable for forming the line screen pattern. By using such an arrangement charging and screening of the charge-retentive surface occur simultaneously.
