ELECTROSTATIC RECORDING BODY

PURPOSE:To prevent the untransfer of thin lines and abnormal electric discharge during high density recording by using resins which are positively and negatively chargeable by triboelectric charge in combination as the insulating resin of a dielectric layer and by previously generating electrostatic charges whose polarity is reverse to the polarity of electrostatic charges impressed for recording on the surface of the dielectric layer by rubbing. CONSTITUTION:When a dielectric layer contg. a pigment and insulating resin is formed to obtain an electrostatic recording body, resins which are positively and negatively charged when rubbed with a rubbing material are used in combination as the insulating resin. Electrostatic charges whose polarity is reverse to the polarity of electrostatic charges impressed for recording are previously generated on the surface of the dielectric layer by rubbing with the rubbing material. The previously generated electrostatic charges are insularly distributed, the size of each of the charges is 1-300mum and the charges are nearly uniform. In case of 1 dot thin line recording with an electrostatic recording device, the recording body forms a clear image without causing the untransfer of thin lines of abnormal electric discharge.
