Abstract: A transfer-type electrothermographic recording method comprising the steps of uniformly charging an electrothermographic recording layer which exhibits chargeability A at room temperature and chargeability B above room temperature, where the chargeabilities A and B are in the relationship of A>B.gtoreq.0, forming a latent electrostatic image by applying digital thermal signals which correspond to an original image, developing the latent electrostatic image with a toner of which polarity is the same as or opposite to the polarity of the electric charge of the latent electrostatic image to form a toner image, transferring the toner image to a receiving medium, and fixing the toner image transferred on the receiving medium; and a recording medium for use with the transfer-type electrothermographic recording method, comprising the above electrothermographic recording layer.

Abstract: Image forming equipment for applying heat to a charged image carrier to attenuate part of the potential of the image carrier in order to form a latent image on the image carrier. The surface of a dielectric image carrier is charged by a charger and a thermal print head is driven in response to image information in order to form a latent image on the charged surface of the image carrier. A developing roller applies a liquid developer to the latent image and presses it against the portion where the potential has been lowered. The resulting toner image formed on the image carrier is fixed on a paper sheet fed from a paper feeding device or is directly fixed on the image carrier. The image carrier is formed of polyethylene terephthalate or a mixture of polybutylene terephthalate and silicon dioxide.

Abstract: A transfer-type electrothermographic recording method is disclosed, which comprises the steps of uniformly charging an electrothermographic recording layer to a predetermined polarity, which exhibits chargeability A at room temperature and chargeability B above room temperature, where the chargeabilities A and B are in the relationship of A>B.gtoreq.0; forming a latent electrostatic image on the charged surface of the electrothermographic recording layer by applying thermal signals which correspond to an original image to the side opposite the charged surface of the electrothermographic recording layer; and developing the latent electrostatic image with a toner of which polarity is the same as or opposite to the polarity of the latent electrostatic image to form a toner image. This transfer-type electrothermographic recording method may further comprise a step of transferring the toner image to a receiving medium; and a step of fixing the toner image transferred onto the receiving medium.

Abstract: A non-impact electric image transfer recording method is disclosed, which comprises the steps of applying a recording voltage-signal to a recording medium comprising an electroconductive support and a polymer gel layer containing therein a liquid ink formed on the electroconductive support, thereby causing the liquid ink to ooze from said polymer gel layer, and transferring the liquid ink to a recording sheet to form images thereon, which step may be followed by the step of applying to the polymer gel layer a voltage with an opposite polarity to that of the recording voltage-signal after the transfer of the liquid ink to a recording sheet.
