Second-sign charged fluid is deposited in a selected second-sign charged-fluid pattern on the selected region of the recording medium, the second-sign charged-fluid pattern corresponding to the negative image data and the second sign being different from the first, sign. Charged dry ink having charge of the second sign is deposited onto the recording medium. The deposited dry ink is attracted to the first-sign charged-fluid pattern and adheres to the recording medium in the first-sign charged-fluid pattern. | 2014-01-16 |
