Abstract
The present invention relates to an image forming process and an apparatus therefor for forming an image with liquid ink in response to output information from a facsimile or a computer, or optical information. In the present invention there is employed a screen member provided with a plurality of through holes and control electrodes respectively provided in the vicinity of said through holes, and voltages corresponding to the image information signals are applied to said control electrodes to selectively introduce electroconductive liquid ink into said through holes thereby forming an image, said image then being transferred onto or made to fly toward a recording material such as paper.
