How about magnetic properites? The old DEC 03 toner was magnetically
attracted within the printer onto a roller before being
electrostatically attracted onto the drum. Presumably, it
contained some iron or iron compound.
Yes, and in fact in one engine I've seen (might have actually been
the CX or the SX, or maybe the Ricoh, I don't recall) the toner is
"splayed out" by a linear magnet underneath a roller, like whiskers, to
make contact with the drum.
