Dot Formation by Toner Beam from Toner Cloud

摘要

In non-impact printing technologies, printing methods using toner are very important. In a sense, toner printings such as electrophotography, toner jet, ion projection and magnetography are technologies how to control toner to paper precisely. A new method "TCB (Toner Cloud Beam)" is proposed. The methods of toner cloud generation and confinement of its toner cloud between electrodes by applying voltage are already proposed. By applying extracting electric field to the toner cloud, toner beam is extracted from the toner cloud and the toner beam is projected to paper. It is confirmed that dot is formed on paper by this method.
