Abstract
Recording head current in magnetic printing systems is reduced by application of a direct current magnetic bias field. The bias and recording fields add to produce a sum field with sufficient strength to switch a premagnetized recording medium. The bias field may be applied directly to the surface of the recording medium or may be concentrated at the recording medium surface by pin poles. In one embodiment of the invention the bias field is supplied by a permanent magnet common pole in a pin pole-type recording head array.
