B41J 206
US Classification:
347141
Abstract:
A method and apparatus to reduce fogging on electrostatic printing media is disclosed. A negative bias is applied to toning station(s) or vacuum station(s) of the printing apparatus with isolation of that negative bias from the printing media.

Method And Apparatus For Applying Liquid Toner To A Print Medium Using Multiple Toner Applicators For Each Liquid Toner

US Patent:
5701561, Dec 23, 1997
Filed:
Sep 26, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/533914
Inventors:
Thomas A. Speckhard - Cottage Grove MN
Assignee:
Minnesota Mining And Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G03G 1501
G03G 1510
US Classification:
399233
Abstract:
A toner station for use in single-pass or multi-pass electrostatic printers includes two or more toner applicators for each color, thereby increasing the printing speed without degrading print quality.

System And Method For Reducing Striations In Electrostatic Printing

US Patent:
6137519, Oct 24, 2000
Filed:
Jun 12, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/873997
Inventors:
Thomas A. Speckhard - Cottage Grove MN
Takashi Horikawa - Kanagawa, JP
Assignee:
3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
Nippon Steel Corporation - Kanawawa
International Classification:
B41J 239
US Classification:
347147
Abstract:
A system and method of reducing striations in electrostatic printing is provided by varying plate firing sequences in a pattern of nib groups on the writing head of an electrostatic printer to visually mute the effects of sequence striations. This variation, in combination with other techniques, minimize multiplexing striations that affect adversely the print quality of data emerging from high speed, wide width electrostatic printers.
