Abstract

Method and device to improve printing quality and the repetition accuracy of electrographical printers, in which are produced a latent electric charge pattern of electrical signals by means of an electrode matrix or the like, which respectively opens and closes passages between electrodes for exposing electric fields for attraction of pigment particles (11) against an information carrier (7). The electrodes (1,2) of the electrode matrix in the area about one or several open passages (3) are screened electrostatically against closed passages, by means of at least two electrically isolated electrodes (1,2).
