Inkless reproduction process that uses static electricity and toner powder to copy an image (Xerox).
A copying process using electrostatic technology to reproduce images.
An imaging method that electrostatically charges ink toner particles, which are attracted to areas of the paper that have been given an electrical charge. The dry toner is then heat fused to the paper, forming an image. This is the basis of almost all office copy machines.
An electrophotographic printing process that uses a photoconductive drum or belt, electrostatic charges and toner to form an image.
A term used to describe the plain-paper, electrostatic copying process.
forming an image by the action of light on a specially coated charged plate; the latent image is developed with powders that adhere only to electrically charged areas; "edge enhancement is intrinsic in xerography"
A dry photo electrostatic method of offset plate creation (using either metal or paper plates) and copy reproduction.
photographic process which uses an electrically charged metal plate. On exposure to light the electrical charge is destroyed, leaving a latent image in which shadows are represented by charged areas. A powdered pigment dusted over the plate is attracted to the charged areas, producing a visible image.
An electrophotographical copying process that uses electrostatic forces and toner to form an image.
A copying process that utilizes a selenium surface and electrostatic focus to form an image.
a process in which light reflected from the original copy alters a charge pattern on an electrophotographic surface.
A dry electrostatic document copying process.
Xerography (or electrophotography) is a photocopying technique developed by Chester Carlson in 1938 and patented on October 6, 1942. He received for his invention. The name xerography came from the Greek radicals xeros (dry) and graphos (writing), because there are no liquid chemicals involved in the process, unlike earlier reproduction techniques like cyanotype.
