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.
