A METHOD FOR IMPROVING PRINTING PERFORMANCE FOR PRINTERS AND A DEVICE FOR ACCOMPLISHING THE METHOD

摘要

A method and apparatus for improving the performance of a photo transfer printer in which electrical signals of potential charging patterns are calculated by an electrode matrix or the like which temporarily calculates an electric field to attract the pigment particles 11 toward the information carrier 7. During at least a portion of the rest periods between the active cycles, the electrodes 1, 2 of the electrode matrix are exposed to a force field that transports the pigment particles from the electrodes.
