Application of Volatile Liquid Toner for Liquid Electrophotography System using High Concentration Contact Developing Method

Abstract

Regarding high concentration contact developing method using a volatile liquid toner of LID (Liquid Ink Development), compositions for the developer supply system were specified. While the high concentration contact developing method has ability in high-speed printing, it is important to obtain high image quality that the process of forming a uniform thin developer layer on a developing roll which is transferred to the photoreceptor. It has not been conducted using the volatile liquid toner in the high concentration contact developing method, therefore, several problems due to the high volatility and the low viscosity of the liquid toner were occurred. In this report, it was determined that the key elements and those basic specifications for the developer supply system.
