Abstract
An electrostatic printing apparatus is disclosed wherein a photoconductive material is irradiated to activate a stylus array. In accordance with the subject invention, the write time of the stylus array can be controlled thereby improving contrast ratio. This result is achieved by providing a second discrete photoconductive layer which is irradiated a fixed time after a first photoconductive layer. The second photoconductive layer is connected in a manner to shunt current from the stylus array thereby effecting the write time.
