In a first part magnetographic printing, as embodied in the Bull MP technology, is introduced in terms of operating principles, functional steps and associated technological components. In a second part, a couple of specific technical problems such as magnetic crosstalk in head arrays, print background control, electrostatic and pneumatic perturbations at transfer, are shortly reviewed while indications as to solutions are provided. Finally, future improvement to the technology are briefly discussed.
