Method of breaking particle agglomerates in the photo electrophoretic imaging system
Abstract
Abstract THIS INVENTION RELATES TO A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING HIGH SHEAR STRESSES IN A PARTICULATE SUSPENSION PRIOR TO USE OF SUCH SUSPENSION FOR IMAGING OR INKING. THE METHOD AND APPARATUS IN ONE ENVIRONMENT FUNCTION TO STRESS A THIN LAYER OF AN ELCTROPHORETIC SUSPENSION OF PARTICLES IN A LIQUID CARRIER. THE PRESTRESSED SUSPENSION IS BETTER SUITED THAN UNSTRESSED SUSPENSIONS FOR PREPARING BOTH MONCHROMATIC AND POLYCHROMATIC COPIES FROM ORIGINALS BY PARTICLE MIGRATION THROUGH THE SUSPENSION WHEN IT IS EXPOSED TO ELECROMAGNETIC RADIATION IN IMAGE CONFIGURATION WHILE IN AN ELECTRIC FIELD ACROSS THE SUSPENSION BETWEEN TWO ELECTRODES. THE METHOD AND APPARATUS IS ALSO USED FOR PRINTING INKS N ORDER TO FORM A PRESTRESSED, UNIFORM, THIN LAYER OF THE INK FOR APPLICATION TO THE PRESS.
