Abstract
In a method and device for providing a visible image on a magnetic layer, the layer having a magnetic image thereon, the magentic layer is moved at a distance spaced from the top surface of a body of a magnetic fluid. The distance is sufficiently small that magnetic fluid from said body can be attracted to contact portions of said magnetic layer having a magnetic image thereon, by magnetic attraction, while the fluid is not attracted to portions of the layer that do not have a magnetic image.
