Abstract
A dielectric imaging member of a printer receives a latent charge image that is preferably projected as a plurality of charge dots from a multi-electrode printhead. The member has charging characteristics that diminish the normal electric field component at the edge of charge dots deposited on its surface. The dielectric constant of a surface layer of the imaging member decreases with depth, either continuously, or in a stepwise manner. Various printing aberrations, such as voids in grey-scale images, fringing rings about dots, dot spreading and filling between dots are corrected, so that compensating image coding of printhead actuation sequences is not required to deposit a faithful electrostatic latent image.
