Predictive Design of Paper Microstructure for Xerographic Printing

The authors present a new approach for modeling toner transfer in xerographic printing. Our formalism combines a new three-dimensional (3D) stochastic fiber network model of paper, a 3D model of electrostatic, and contact adhesion forces acting on toner particles in xerographic printing. Our modeling platform allows the authors to study the relative importance of paper surface and mass density variations in establishing the electrostatic and …
