Latest Patents
Tamihiko Tanaka holds a patent for a printing method and printing apparatus, which includes a laser output control device and a control method for printing apparatus. His invention features a driving means placed below a photoconductor drum. This driving means consists of first to fourth developing rollers A-D and toner storage chambers A-D. The developing means can be shifted by a developing-device moving motor to bring one of the developing rollers A-D, which corresponds to one of the liquid toners A-D, into close proximity to the photoconductor drum for the development of a latent image formed by exposure. The distance between one of the developing rollers A-D and the photoconductor drum can be appropriately adjusted. Additionally, before development, a meniscus of the liquid toner is quickly formed between the developing rollers A-D and the photoconductor drum by rotating the development rollers A at a rotation speed higher than that during development.
