Abstract
Electrostatographic imaging method employing an imaging member provided with a photoconductive imaging layer containing an organic photoconductive material, an activator capable of forming a charge transfer complex with said material and a protonic acid sensitizer. The acid sensitization of the charge transfer complex in this imaging layer dramatically enhances the photosensitivity of this photoconductive composition and yet avoids the undesirable memory effects generally experienced in such materials when a photoconductive layer of these materials is imaged in accord with the method of this invention.
