Abstract 1. A TRANSFER PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A PLURALITY OF COPIES FROM A SINGLE ELECTROSTATIC LATENT IMAGE FORMED ON THE SURFACE OF A SUPPORTING MEMBER COMPRISING THE STEPS OF DEVELOPING THE LATENT IMAGE WITH TONER HAVING THE SAME POLARITY CHARGE AS THE LATENT IMAGE; TRANSFERRING THE DEVELOPED TONER IMAGE FROM THE SUPPORTING MEMBER TO A TRANSFER SHEET WITHOUT SUBSTANTIALLY DISSIPATING THE ELEC TROSTATIC LATENT IMAGE BY PRESSURE-CONTACTING THE SURFACE OF THE SUPPORTING MEMBER AND THE TRANSFER SHEET WITH A PRESSURE WITHING THE RANGE OF FROM 0.1 TO 0.3 KG./CM.2 UTILIZING AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE ROLLER, THE TRANSFER SHEET HAVING AN ELECTROSTATIC CAPACITY NOT GREATER THAN THE ELECTROSTATIC CAPACITY OF THE SUPPORTING MEMBER AND HAVING A VOLUME RESISTIVITY WITHIN THE RANGE OF FROM 10**8 TO 10**14 $.CM., THE ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE ROLLER AND THE REAR SURFACE OF THE SUPPORTING MEMBER HAVING SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL POTENTIALS, AND REPEATING SAID DEVELOPING AND TRANSFERRING STEPS TO PRODUCE A PLURALITY OF COPIES FROM THE SINGLE ELECTROSTATIC LATENT IMAGE.
