Abstract
A method of decreasing toner in solid area development to improve the latitude of a xerographic process in a machine having a projecting system for modulating a beam and projecting an image onto an imaging surface by specifying pixels defining solid image areas and selectively modulating the beam with regard to the specified pixels to change the state of the pixels from black to gray or partial white.
