Electrophotography and Development Physics [Paperback]

Electrophotography and Development Physics focuses on thecomplicated and increasingly important technology found inphotocopiers and laser printers. An introduction chapteracquaints the reader with the technical history ofelectrophotography, its current and projected markets, andalso alternative related copying and printing technologies.A concise descriptionof the physics of the completeelectrophotgraphic process is followed by an in-depthtreatment of static electricity. The three types ofdevelopmentsystems (two component, monocomponent, andliquid), and their associated charging mechanisms. In thissecond edition, a discussion of the new color copiers and achapter updating the original material have been added. Onmastering this material, which is presented in a mannersuitable for both the newcomer and the established expert,the reader will have a workingknowledge of theelectrophotographic process and a detailed knowledge of itsimportant subsystem, development.Electrophotography and Development Physics focuses on thecomplicated and increasingly important technology found inphotocopiers and laser printers.
