Electrophotography

  • Chapter
Book cover High-Technology Applications of Organic Colorants

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Chemistry ((TAPP))

Most people have probably never heard of electrophotography, yet it is by far the biggest of all the reprographics technologies. These seemingly inconsistent statements make sense only when it is realized that electrophotography comprises the two very familiar and ubiquitous technologies of photocopying and laser/LED (light emitting diode) printing.
