Abstract
An electrostatic recording apparatus includes a background potential detector (12a, 12b, 13a and 13b) for detecting the potential (VMc) of a background region adjacent to a normal development region (having VHc) and the potential (VMd) of a background region adjacent to a reversal development region (having VLd), and a controller (25) for controlling a charge voltage, exposure intensity, and/or developing bias voltage according to the output of the background potential detector to eliminate a fogging phenomenon.
