  • Patent number: 4524117
    Abstract: An electrophotographic method for the formation of two-colored images comprising: (1) uniformly charging the surface of a photoreceptor having a conductive substance and a photoconductive layer formed on the conductive substance, said photoconductive layer being sensitive to a first color, (2) exposing a two-colored original, to form on said photoconductive layer an electrostatic latent image, which corresponds to a second color region in the original, with the same polarity as the electric charges on the surface of said photoconductive layer, (3) subjecting the surface of said photoreceptor to a reversal development treatment by the use of a photoconductive color toner charged with the same polarity as the electric charges constituting said electrostatic latent image, to develop the non-charged region with the photoconductive color toner, (4) subjecting said electrostatic latent image to a normal development treatment by the use of an insulative toner having a color different from the color of said photocond

  • Patent number: 4328265
    Abstract: A transfer sheet for electrostatically transferring thereon an electrically conductive or electrically semi-conductive toner in electrostatic photography or electrostatic printing, which comprises a substrate and a toner-receiving layer formed on at least one surface of the substrate, which toner-receiving layer contains a composition comprising (A) a thermoplastic acrylic polymer having a carboxyl group content of 2 to 30% by weight and (B) a thermosetting resin reactive with the acrylic polymer (A), is produced by coating on at least one surface of the substrate an aqueous composition containing the thermoplastic acrylic polymer in the form of an aqueous emulsion and the thermosetting resin in the form of an aqueous solution and drying the coated substrate to form a toner-receiving layer on the surface of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 4320186
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing an original for projection by using a transfer film comprising a transparent plastic film substrate, an undercoating layer composed of an electrically conductive resin and having a surface resistance of 1.0.times.10.sup.6 to 9.0.times.10.sup.9 .OMEGA., and a toner receiving layer composed of a binder resin and having a surface resistance of 1.0.times.10.sup.10 to 1.0.times.10.sup.14 .OMEGA., which is formed on at least one surface of the transparent plastic film substrate through the undercoating layer.An original for projection which is excellent in the surface smoothness and image characteristics can be obtained by electrostatically transferring an image of a one-component type magnetic developer on a photosensitive plate for the electrostatic photography, onto the toner receiving layer of the above transfer film and bringing the transferred developer image into contact with a roller under application of a pressure to fix the developer image on the toner receiving layer.

  • Patent number: 4245025
    Abstract: A transfer sheet for electrostatically transferring thereon an electrically conductive or electrically semi-conductive toner in electrostatic photography or electrostatic printing, which comprises a substrate and a toner-receiving layer formed on at least one surface of the substrate, which toner-receiving layer contains a composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of thermoplastic acrylic-styrene copolymer and (B) 10 to 100 parts by weight of dry method finely divided silica is disclosed.In this transfer sheet, the electric resistance can be maintained at a high level even under high humidity conditions, and a toner image can be transferred on this transfer sheet at a high transfer efficiency without broadening of contours of the image. This transfer sheet has feel and touch quite similar to those of ordinary paper and is very excellent in graphic characteristics.
