  • Patent number: 4135927
    Abstract: Method and apparatus are herein disclosed for xerographically reproducing a color copy from a multi-color original. A moving photoconductive surface is sequentially exposed through color filters to form a series of color separated latent electrostatic images thereon. Each image formulated contains original input scene information of selected colors recorded at a first image potential and other input scene information recorded at a second potential, the first recorded potential being greater in magnitude that the second recorded potential. Development of the images is achieved by passing an electroscopic developer material between the photoconductive surface and a control electrode biased to a potential somewhere between the first and second image potentials found on the photoconductor whereby recorded input scene information containing the selected color is developed and, simultaneously therewith, development of all other information is prevented.
