Abstract

A multi-color electrostatic printing machine having processing components to produce either a color or black and white copy of an original. Individual development rollers, one for color and one for black and white, are moved into contact with a photoconductor to develop latent electrostatic images thereon for either a color or black and white copy. Toner donor apparatus spaced about the periphery of the color development roller supply the latter with color toner and additional toner donor apparatus supplies the black development roller with black toner. Each developed color image is transferred in superimposed relationship on sheets of paper.
