Method for toning tacky surfaces

摘要

A method is described for the development of a surface having imagewise tacky and nontacky areas comprising arranging toner particles in the form of an elongated mound on a section of said surface and then distributing said toner particles over said surface by pushing the elongated mound across the surface with at least one pad with at least a portion of the mound beneath the leading edge of the pad, whereby the distributed toner particles become imagewise adhered to said surface.
