Patent ID: 7463851

Claim:
A device for transport of liquid developer to an image carrier element for electrophoretic digital printing, comprising: a developer unit arranged adjacent to the image carrier element, the developer unit directing a liquid developer comprising toner particles to the image carrier element, the toner particles crossing over to the image carrier element corresponding to previously-generated potential images; a raster unit arranged adjacent to the developer unit, the raster unit transporting the liquid developer to the developer unit by use of a raster; an electrical voltage applied between the raster unit and the developer unit in order to exert a targeted field effect on the toner particles in a direction towards the developer unit; a doctor blade chamber comprising a dosing doctor blade arranged adjacent to the raster unit and having said liquid developer comprising said toner particles which are already charged, and from the doctor blade chamber the raster unit accepting the liquid developer via the dosing doctor blade; and the doctor blade chamber being arranged and operable such that the dosing doctor blade is washed over by said liquid developer.
