Abstract: A method of and apparatus for toning an exposed electrophotographic member in a camera or other electrostatic imaging device which uses liquid toner comprising toner particles suspended in a dispersant.The method contemplates running the liquid toner into a chamber containing the photoconductive surface of the electrophotographic member and a metal plate parallel with one another and spaced apart as two boundaries of the chamber. During the toning operation, a low d.c. bias is applied across the chamber between the photoconductive surface and the plate of a polarity opposite to that characterizing the latent image such as to repel toner particles from the photoconductive surface, but the voltage of the bias is low enough not to affect increments of the surface which have substantial charge on them. The result is that said increments with very little charge are left with practically no adhering particles.
