Abstract
A development station for applying dry toner to an image member includes a rotatable magnetic core and an input skive to determine the height of the developer nap on a shell surrounding the core. Toner flakes showing up in the toner application on the image member are substantially reduced by replacing a previously metallic skive with a non-conductive skive to prevent heating of the skive from eddy currents created by the rotating core.
