Abstract
In an electrophotographic printing machine, a layer of insulating fluid containing micelles is positioned over a photoreceptor. The micelles are migrated onto the surface of the photoreceptor. The photoreceptor is exposed to inject charge carriers into the insulating fluid and selectively neutralize micelles to form an electrostatic latent image. The latent image is transferred to a dielectric surface and developed.
