A recording method and apparatus therefor make the recording of images by the following process: A powder-like toner having a high electric resistivity and a charge retention property is held on a donor and is brought into contact with a multi-stylus electrode. A pattern signal is applied to the multi-stylus electrode and the toner is electrically charged or quenched by the charge injection of the multi-stylus electrode and a charge distribution is formed in the toner on the donor, corresponding to the pattern signal. The charge distribution is used for the formation of a visible image. For example, by transferring the toner selectively to a recording sheet in accordance with the charge distribution, a visible pattern corresponding to the pattern signal is obtained on the recording sheet. The visible pattern can be recorded on an electrically conductive recording member or a recording member having uneven surface by utilizing an image transfer medium. By transferring toner to a latent image bearing member on which a latent electrostatic image is formed, a visible pattern modified by the pattern signal can be obtained.
