Abstract
A non-impact printer for transferring printing particles from a donor sheet to a recipient sheet by applying pulses to produce an electrical field between a print electrode and a base electrode. The print electrode comprises a conductive member having a field shaping surface corresponding in shape to an image to be printed. The electric field passes through dielectric material between the field shaping surface and the donor and recipient sheets, the dielectric material being chosen for its stability against breakdown in high electric fields.
