Electrophotography and Development Physics

Electrophotography and Development Physics focuses on the

complicated and increasingly important technology found in

photocopiers and laser printers. An introduction chapter

acquaints the reader with the technical history of

electrophotography, its current and projected markets, and

also alternative related copying and printing technologies.

A concise descriptionof the physics of the complete

electrophotgraphic process is followed by an in-depth

treatment of static electricity. The three types of

developmentsystems (two component, monocomponent, and

liquid), and their associated charging mechanisms. In this

second edition, a discussion of the new color copiers and a

chapter updating the original material have been added. On

mastering this material, which is presented in a manner

suitable for both the newcomer and the established expert,

the reader will have a workingknowledge of the

electrophotographic process and a detailed knowledge of its

important subsystem, development.
