DEVELOPING APPARATUS FOR THE LIQUID DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE IMAGES

摘要

Disclosed is a developing apparatus and process for the liquid development of electrostatic charge images on an image carrier material. The developing apparatus includes a device for spraying a liquid developer onto the image carrier material to be developed, and a developing electrode connected to a direct-current voltage source. The developing electrode comprises an electrically conductive web positioned in operative relationship to the image carrier layer, the web is unwound from a supply roll and wound up on a take-up roll, the distance of the web-shaped developing electrode from the surface of the image carrier material being adjustable by means of at least one guide roll.
