Abstract

The present disclosure presents an apparatus for pattern generation on a dielectric substrate comprising an imaging drum including a dielectric pattern receiving and retaining substrate, a plurality of electrodes underlying the pattern receiving and retaining dielectric substrate, imaging circuitry for application of voltage signals to the plurality of electrodes, an elongate charge source operative to apply a flow of charges to the dielectric substrate, thereby creating a latent image thereon, a developing unit operative to apply toner to the dielectric substrate, thereby producing a toned image according to the latent image, and a transfer unit operative to transfer the toned image to a substrate.
