Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method is disclosed in the context of a system comprises an electrophotographic subsystem, a transfer subsystem, an imaging member, and an inking subsystem. The electrophotographic subsystem comprises a photoreceptor, a charging subsystem, an exposure subsystem, and a development subsystem. In operation, the photoreceptor is charged areawise. An exposure pattern is formed by the exposure subsystem on the surface of the charged photoreceptor to thereby write a latent charge image onto the photoreceptor surface. The image is developed with an image defining material, such as a dampening fluid. The image defining material forms a negative pattern of the image to be printed. This negative image is then transferred to the reimageable surface. The negative image is then developed with ink. The inked image may be transferred to a substrate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for variable data lithography, comprising: charging a photoreceptor with a first electrostatic charge; selectively exposing said photoreceptor by an exposure subsystem to thereby form an exposure pattern from regions that are unexposed and exposed by said exposure subsystem on a surface of said photoreceptor, said exposure subsystem causing altering of said first electrostatic charge such that said unexposed regions are caused to have a first elec…
