An electrophotographic method by the use of a photosensitive screen having a number of tiny openings therein and by modulation of corona ion current, wherein a primary electrostatic latent image is first formed on the screen by application of electrostatic charge in conformity to an original image to be reproduced, thus a secondary electrostatic latent image is formed by modulating corona ion current for a plurality of times by the use of one and the same primary electrostatic latent image, and applying to the screen, alternately with the corona ion modulation, a corona ion current of a polarity capable of eliminating the charge polarity of the modulating corona ion current. |
