English

Subject field(s)
  • Inks and Colour Reproduction (Graphic Arts)
  • Electronic Publishing
  • Simulation (Cybernetic Systems)
DEF

A toner, either dry powder or liquid, used to develop electrostatic images, as in a photocopying machine. The charge of the pigmented particles is opposite to that of the image; the particles are thus attracted to and adhere to the image-bearing surface.

OBS

Electrostatic inks are not inks in the truest sense, nor should they be confused with the organic pigment in ordinary ink.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Encres et couleurs (Industrie graphique)
  • Éditique

DEF

Toner, liquide ou sec, utilisé dans les procédés électrostatiques pour révéler l'image latente.
