Abstract
A device and method for inking a charge pattern of a carrier medium. The device includes a toner sprayer that generates and directs a mixed toner stream onto a surface of an application element. The mixed toner stream includes a number of charge toner and air particles and forms a toner layer when the mixed toner stream contacts the application element surface. The application element is movably positioned in close proximity to the carrier medium for transferring the charged toner particles onto the charge pattern of the carrier medium for inking the same.
