Abstract: An electrostatic copying method of the transfer type which comprises repeatedly performing a copying cycle including an image-forming step of forming a latent electrostatic image on a photosensitive material moved through an endless moving path or a toner image obtained by developing it, a transfer step of transferring the latent electrostatic image or the toner image on the photosensitive material to a receptor member subsequent to the image-forming step, and a cleaning step of cleaning the photosensitive material subsequent to the transfer step.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrophotographic sheet material suitable for use as an offset printing master, comprising: a fibrous substrate, a continuous film of cellulose nitrate thereon and a layer of photo conductive material on said film.
