Abstract

A charging system for uniform charging of charge retentive surfaces such as photoreceptors in imaging systems. The charging system includes corona producing elements and grid elements such as scorotron screens wherein the grid elements are arranged generally parallel to each other and have differentiated grid feature patterns. The differentiated grid feature patterns enable more uniform charging.
