Abstract:
An image system comprising:a photoreceptor capable of having an electrostatic latent image recorded thereon; and a plurality of developing stations capable of developing a color image to the photoreceptor, at least one of the plurality of developing stations having toner and being operably configured to apply a voltage between âˆ’700 volts to âˆ’900 volts to the toner; and at least one charging means and at least one exposing means to prepare the photoreceptor for a desired condition such that the toner is attracted away from the at least one of the plurality of developing stations, wherein the desired condition corresponds to preparing a portion of the photoreceptor to remove toner from one of the plurality of developing stations to substantially prevent the transfer of the toner from the one developing station to another portion of photoreceptor.
