For reversal development of an electrical potential pattern formed by imagewise exposure of a uniformly charged photoconductive layer, the charging of the layer is restricted to such a level below its breakdown voltage that the contact between the photoconductive layer and the toner powder used in the development step is insulating, and a magnetisable and inductively attractable toner powder is applied for the development. The toner powder is applied by means of a magnetic brush device comprising a conductive development roller which is provided with an electrical potential suited for reversal development. Preferably the photoconductive layer is charged to a level of at most 35-75% of its breakdown voltage, and a scorotron preferably is used for the charging. The photoconductive layer may comprise a photoconductive polymer and/or a bisazo pigment as photosensitive compound, or may be a layer of "pink" zinc oxide dispersed in a binder. |
