NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG, ORFGON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1948 THIRTEEN New Process Reproduces Printing, Photographs Without Fluid Ink Use DETROIT UP) Xerography, a revolutionary process for the reproduction of printed matter, drawings and photographs without the use of fluid ink, was demonstrated publicly here for the first time. The process, shown to the Op tical Society of America, makes use of static electricity and a dry powder to reproduce pictures, to copy letters or documents and to print on high-speed presses. Not only does the process elimi nate fluid inks used in ordinary firinting, it also eliminates the iquids and chemicals of conven tional photography. The basic principle of xero graphy from the Greek words "zeros" for dry, and "graphein" to write is similar to photography in that it makes use of light and darkness. From there on, it is a radical departure. Xerography was demonstrated by Dr. R. Si. Schaffert of the Battelle Memorial Institute, Co lumbus, Ohio, and Joseph C. Wil son, president of the Haloid, Com pany of Rochester, N. Y. The process makes use of a new electric eye a coated metal plate that sees and remembers an image by static electricity, instead of by chemicals in present photo graphic films, which are chemical pyes. Printing the drawing is done Btmply with a dry powder and static electricity. No chemical" or liquids are used. ' Wilson said xerocopying mach ines are being built to reproduce line work, like drawings, blue prints and documents. Such images can be printed on paper, wood, cloth, metal or other materials in black and white or colors. Also Used On Printing Preu Battelle scientists also demon strated a printing press based on the new methods. It produces 1,200 feet of print ed copy a minute and uses only dry powder and electricity with no inks, rollers, or heavy presses. Schaffert said portable xero cameras may be possible after further research. With them, he said, "the pic ture taker can snap the shutter and in a few seconds pull out the finished xeroprint. If he doesn't like the result, he can discard it and try again, using the same xeroplate." In the demonstration here, the new electric eye took a picture and made a print of a line draw ing In 45 seconds. Pictures of live subjects can be done now, but they are not yet satisfactory.
