Abstract
A printing device for reproducing information, comprising a movable image-forming element having a dielectric surface, an image-forming station including a magnetic roller provided with a rotatable electrically conductive sleeve and a magnetic system within the electrically conductive sleeve, electrodes to generate an electric field between the image-forming element and the magnetic roller in accordance with an information pattern, while an electrically conductive magnetically attractable toner powder is present in an image-development zone formed between the image-forming element and magnetic roller, the magnetic system generating a magnetic field in the image-forming zone and forming the toner powder into a magnetic toner brush and system for providing a well-defined space in the image-development zone between the electrically conductive sleeve and the image-forming element so that no distortion of the magnetic toner brush occurs during image development in the image-development zone.
