The invention relates generally to apparatus for electrostatic image development and, in particular, apparatus that implement a magnetic brush with a drum photoconductor. According to an aspect of the invention, a method and apparatus for developing an electrostatic image are provided implementing a drum photoconductor and a magnetic brush contacting the drum photoconductor. The magnetic brush includes a mixture of toner and hard magnetic carriers.

The process control method for a DAD-CAD image forming method includes forming a DAD electrostatic image of a first polarity and applying toner of the first polarity to form a first toner image and then forming a CAD electrostatic image. To provide ample voltage for formation of the CAD image and to reduce scavenging, the development completion of the first electrostatic image is preferably kept below 0. 4, preferably by reducing pole transitions provided by a rotatable magnetic core in toning the first image. The process is further controlled by adjusting an initial charge on the image member which also can be trimmed after formation of the first image by a uniform light exposure and by adjustment of AC biases in both toning steps.

A color toner image with a metallic effect can be prepared by forming one or more latent images and developing them with metallic dry toner particles and color toner particles. The developed color toner image can be transferred to a receiver material, and fixed to provide a color toner image with a metallic effect. The metallic dry toner particles have a polymeric binder phase and non-conductive metal oxide particles dispersed therein. Before fixing, the metallic dry toner particle has a mean volume weighted diameter (D) 15-40 μm and the non-conductive metal oxide particles are present in an amount of at least 20-50 weight % based on total metallic dry toner particle weight. The ratio of the metallic dry toner particle Dto the average equivalent circular diameter (ECD) of the non-conductive metal oxide particles in the metallic dry toner particles is greater than 0.1 and up to and including 10.

A method and apparatus for processing image data representing plural colors for output to a color display device such as a printer or soft display. A block of digital image data signals is generated representing rasterized image data of at least two colors. The block of digital image data is compressed and stored in a compressed form. The compressed image data is then expanded losslessly and output to a color display device.

Preventing the imaging forming process of an electrostatographic reproduction apparatus having a plurality of imaging modules in tandem relative to a receiver transport belt moveable along a transport path from becoming contaminated with fuser release oil. A substantially uniform layer of the pigmented marking particles from the development subsystem of the image forming process is deposited onto the photoconductive member of the image forming process during any non-imaging cycles of the process, including cycle down, non-imaging skip frames, or recovery from a receiver jam. The substantially uniform layer of pigmented marking particles acts as a barrier to block fuser release oil from the photoconductive member and as a vehicle to carry away contaminating fuser release oil.
