Abstract:
An image formation method and apparatus utilizing the technique of removing a conductive one-component developer which adheres to the non-image bearing portion of an image bearing member such as a photosensitive member and provides the background fog of the image on the image bearing member. More particularly, it discloses an image formation method and apparatus in which one-component developer conductive particles are brought into contact with the developer forming the fog to thereby induce in said particles a charge of the opposite polarity to the polarity of the charge of the developer and the particles and the developer are attracted to each other by the coulomb force thereof, whereafter with the conveyance force of said particles, said developer is removed to thereby form a fogless image.
Abstract:
A developer is composed of colored insulating particles for developing an electrostatic image wherein at least the external surface of each particle comprises two different areas of which one area constitutes a major portion of said external surface and comprises an element which defines the polarity of the triboelectric charge of said particle to a determined polarity while the other area comprises an element capable of being easily separated from said particle, transferred to a surface of a developing device and charged to a polarity opposite to that of said particle.
Abstract:
A liquid discharging apparatus in which a liquid is flowed in one direction in a circulation flow path at the time of non-discharge, and the flow path is refilled with liquid from both directions at the time of discharge. The liquid discharging apparatus includes a pressure adjustment unit that satisfies a condition “Pu>Pd, Pn>−Pd”, where Pu denotes a fluid pressure at a predetermined position on the upstream side of a discharge port, Pd denotes a fluid pressure at a predetermined position on the downstream side thereof, and Pn denotes a pressure equivalent to a capillary force of the discharge port for absorbing the liquid from the flow path into the discharge port immediately after the liquid has been discharged therefrom.
