DEFINITION

Classification: 430/48

Electrostatic image transfer:

(under subclass 31) Processes wherein a latent electrostatic image in or on a first member is transferred to or reproduced on a separate second member by either (a) conduction of electrical charges across an air gap between members, or (b) when the members are in surface contact by direct charge transfer between the members or by the influence of the electrical charges of the image. The latent electrostatic image is usually obtained by uniformly charging, and imaging a radiation-conductive layer with radiation to form an image of electrostatic surface charge on the layer.
