Definitions

  • This invention relates to photographic reproduction and more particularly to electro-photographic processes, namely processes in which an electrostatic latent image is produced by utilizing the property of photoconductivity (i.e., a variable conductivity dependent on the intensity of illumination).
  • the electrostatic latent image may be produced in a conventional exposure operation, for example by means of a lens-projected image or by contact-printing techniques, whereby a non-visible electrostatic charge pattern (the so-called electrostatic latent image) is created on a surface, in which pattern the charge density at any point is related to the'intensity of illumination obtaining at that point during the exposure.
  • the latent image may be developedi.e., rendered visible -by means of an electroscopic powder, such as a colored synthetic resin powder, and the resulting visible image may be fixed by rendering the powder permanently adherent to a support on which the image. is desired, for example, in suitable cases by heating to soften or melt the powder particles and/ or the surface of the image support, or with volatile solvents.
  • the electrostatic latent image is commonly formed onthe surface of a photo conductive insulating layer carried on a support.
  • material comprising such support and photo-conductive layer may be sensitized by applying a uniform surface charge to the free surface of the photoconductive layer.

After evaporation of the solvent, the coating adheres firmly to the surface of the aluminum foil.
  • zinc-modified resin e.g. the product marketed by R. Kramer, Bremen, under the trade name Erkazit Zinkharz are dissolved in 30 cc. of benzene.
  • the solution is applied to a paper foil prepared in accordance with American Patents 2,534,650, 2,681,617, or 2,559,- 610, or to an aluminum foil of which the surface has been cleaned of grease. After evaporation
  • Example 9 The procedure as in Example 1 is followed except that the coating solution used consists of 1 g. of the compound corresponding to Formula 4 and 1 g. of the compound corresponding to Formula 2 in 30 g. of glycol monomethyl ether. Positive images are obtained.
  • Example 10 13 coated paper foil is subjected to the further procedure as described in Example 1. From a positive master a positive image with very rich contrast is obtained.
  • Example 11 1 g. of the compound corresponding to Formula 33 and 1 g. of 2,5-bis-[4'-diethyl-aminophenyl-(1)]-l,3,4- triazole are dissolved in 30 g. of glycol monomethyl ether and the solution is applied 'to an aluminum foil. After evaporation of the solvent, the coating adheres firmly to the aluminum surface. With the coated aluminum foil so prepared, electrophotographic images can be produced as described in Example 1. If a sheet of paper is placed on the unfixed image in the carbon blackresin powder and recharging by means of a corona discharge is carried out, the said image in carbon blackresin powder is transferred from the aluminum foil to the paper to produce a mirror-image. If the cabon blackresin image is transferred to transparent paper or to a transparent plastic foil, the image obtained can be further copied, for example, on diazo photoprinting paper.
  • a photographic reproduction process which comprises exposing an electrostatically charged, supported photoconductive insulating layer to light under a master to discharge the layer at the exposed portions and developing the resulting image with an electroscopic material, the photoconductive layer comprising a compound having the formula in which R'is selected from the group consisting of an aryl group and heterocyclic, aroyl, cyano, and carbalkoxy radicals, R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and cyano radicals, and R is selected from the group consisting of an aryl group and heterocyclic radicals.
  • a photographic reproduction process which comprises exposing an electrostatically charged, supported photoconductive insulating layer to light under a master to discharge the layer at the exposed portions and developing the resulting image with an electroscopic material, the photoconductive layer comprising a compound having the formula in which R and R are aryl groups.
  • a photographic reproduction process which comprises exposing an electrostatically charged, supported photoconductive insulating layer to light under a master to discharge the layer at the exposed portions and developing the resulting image with an electroscopic -material, the photoconductive layer comprising a compound having the formula 14 in which R is a heterocyclic radical and R isfan aryl group.
  • a photographic reproduction process which comprises exposing an electrostatically charged, supported photoconductive insulating layer to light under a master to discharge the layer at the exposed portions and developing the resulting image with an electroscopic material, the photoconductive layer comprising a compound having the formula :E I n 12.
  • a photographic reproduction process which comprises exposing an electrostatically charged, supported photoconductive insulating layer to light under a master to discharge the layer at the exposed portions and developing the resulting image with an electroscopic material, the photoconductive layer comprising a, compound having the formula 15.
