Magnetic imaging apparatus and method wherein a latent magnetic image is created on a magnetizable imaging member comprising a base or web containing a magnetizable component and wherein said imaging member has an overcoating of an electroconductive material. After development of the latent image with a magnetic toner composition, the developed image is transferred by pressure contact to a receiving substrate and fixed thereto. The imaging member provides substantially improved adhesive properties and efficient transfer of the toner particles to the receiving substrate.

Magnetic imaging

A magnetic master is provided by premagnetizing a magnetizable recording member, forming characters on the backing layer of the recording member with a typewriter or suitable marking means, and exposing the recording member from the backing layer side to flash energy to demagnetize the background areas and form a latent magnetic image. The latent magnetic image may be contacted with a magnetic toner and the developed image transferred to a receiving surface where it is permanently fixed. The magnetic master may be developed hundreds or thousands of times to produce the desired number of prints.

Method for creating magnetic masters

This invention is directed to new electrophotographic, and magnetic toners, which are useful for example in high speed fusing systems, these toners being comprised of a polyamide resin, a pigment or colorant, which pigment or colorant may be magnetic and as an optional ingredient, a carrier material. The polyamide resin is of the formula ##STR1## wherein R, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 are radicals independently selected from aliphatic, substituted aliphatic, aromatic, substituted aromatic, cycloaliphatic, and heterocyclic, x is a number of from 1 to about 100, and y is a number of from 1 to about 100. In one preferred embodiment the toner composition is comprised of the polyamide resin and a high loading, 50-75 percent of a magnetic material, allowing for high speed fusing in magnetic imaging systems.
