There is disclosed a photoelectrophoretic imaging system wherein a layer of an imaging suspension is arranged between a conductive transparent electrode and a second electrode, preferably a blocking electrode, subjected to an electrical field and exposed to an imagewise pattern of activating electromagnetic radiation to form an image on the transparent electrode which is subsequently transferred to a receiver member and fixed thereto. The conductive transparent electrode comprises a layer of a conductive material overlying a layer of polymeric material which overlies a substrate and is also utilized during the transfer and fixing of the image.

Transfer of photoelectrophoretic images

Pigment-oil suspension ink images are fixed by transferring the images to a transfer paper containing an oil-absorbent masking agent and a physically discontinuous overcoating of a thermoplastic fusing material, and then heating the composite to fuse and fix the images.
