Abstract
A development system () for an electrophotographic printer () with multiple augers and containing a development roller () and a first channel () containing a feed auger () and developer (), where the magnetic strength of the feed pole of the development roller increases in the direction of developer flow () in the first channel. This increase in magnetic field strength of the feed pole () ensures that a uniform layer of developer is formed on the development roller despite the volume of developer in the first channel decreasing along the length of the first channel in the direction of developer flow.
