Electrophotographic color proofing method

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract, An electrophotographic proofing method is described that uses a proofing element comprising a photoconductive layer on an electrically conducting substrate capable of transmitting actinic radiation to which the photoconductive layer is responsive and, a dielectric support, releasably adhered to the substrate or photoconductive layer, comprising the photoconductive layer or an overcoat thereof forming a surface of the element capable of holding an applied electrostatic charge. In the method the dielectric support surface is charged, and the photoconductive layer imagewise-exposed to actinic radiation, thereby forming a developable electrostatic image on the dielectric surface.
