Claim One:
1. A method of producing a color copy, including the steps of: recording successive single color electrostatic latent images on an image bearing member; developing each successive single color electrostatic latent image with particles containing a predetermined dominant colorant therein corresponding to each recorded single color electrostatic latent image, said step of developing comprising the steps of depositing particles containing a dominant cyan colorant with a minor magenta colorant impurity on an electrostatic latent image formed from a red filtered light image, depositing particles containing a dominant magenta colorant with a minor yellow impurity on an electrostatic latent image formed from a green filtered light image, and depositing particles containing a dominant yellow colorant on an electrostatic latent image formed from a blue filtered light image; transferring successive layers of particles to a sheet of support material such that the layer of particles having the dominant magenta colorant with the minor yellow colorant is superimposed over the layer of particles having the dominant cyan colorant with the minor magenta colorant impurity and the layer of particles having the dominant yellow colorant is superimposed over both of the previously transferred layers of particles; and regulating electrically said transfer step so that successively thinner layers of particles are transferred from the image bearing member, to the sheet of support material resulting in a substantially color corrected copy.
