Abstract

We present a new model that uses a 3D stochastic fibre networks to simulate the role of paper structure and paper-nip interactions on the process of toner transfer in Xerographic printing. Our simulations show that the surface properties of paper under deformation in the print nip are critical in establishing the electrostatic field responsible for transferring toner to paper. When the spatial distributions of simulated electrostatic transfer fields – established in the presence of paper surfaces in a state of z-compression – are compared to the distribution of toner experimentally printed onto laboratory handsheet, good agreement is found.
