Title: Multicolor electrophotographic copier with liquid developing

Abstract: In an electrophotographic apparatus wherein the images of successive portions of an original to be copied are formed into electrostatic latent images which in turn are visualized by means of liquid developer to provide a copy image, the latent images are formed in predetermined spaced-apart relationship on the surface of a photosensitive medium and the non-image bearing portions of the photosensitive medium between adjacent ones of the latent images are maintained at a potential of the opposite polarity to that of the developer.
