Abstract
The present invention refers to a direct printing method in which charged particles are transported from a particle source and deposited in an image configuration onto an information carrier. Printing is achieved in subsequent print periods by consecutively connecting variable voltage sources to complementary subsets of electrodes while supplying screen voltages to the electrodes of the remaining subset(s) to prevent interaction between adjacent electrostatic fields.
