An electrophotographic method is disclosed for forming a black (or neutral) toner separation image and a color toner separation image from a single original without cross-contamination of black toner in the color separation image and vice versa. The method entails composing an original containing "false-color" information--other than black or neutral--corresponding to the black separation image desired and color information corresponding to the color separation image desired. The false-color and color information are selected to absorb actinic light in mutually exclusive wavelength regions of the spectrum. When the original is illuminated, for example, with light having wavelengths in the false-color absorption region only, a light pattern is formed and employed to expose a charged photoreceptor. The resulting electrostatic image is developed with black--or neutral--toner, thereby forming the black separation image. On the other hand, when the original is illuminated with light of wavelengths in the color information region only, the light pattern produced establishes a different charge pattern when used to expose a charged photoreceptor. The latter charge pattern is developed with a colored toner. The black and color toner separation images form a composite image without toner cross-contamination when transferred in register to a receiver.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
An electrophotographic method for forming a color separation image and a black separation image comprising: (a) providing an original containing false-color information corresponding to the black separation image desired, and color information corresponding to the color separation image desired, the false-color information being capable of selectively absorbing actinic light in a first wavelength region, W.
sub.
1, of the spectrum, and the color information being capable of selectively absorbing actinic light in a second wavelength region, W.
sub.
2, of the spectrum; (b) forming a black separation image by: (i) illuminating the original either with light having wavelengths within the W.
sub.
1 region only, or with light having wavelengths in both the W.
sub.
1 and W.
sub.
2 wavelength regions which is filtered after illuminating the original to exclude all light except that having W.
sub.
1 wavelengths, thereby forming a first pattern of light corresponding to the false-color information; (ii) exposing a first photoreceptor charged to a given polarity to the first pattern of light to form a first electrostatic image of said polarity; and (iii) developing the first electrostatic image with a black or neutral toner; and (c) forming a nonoverlapping color separation image by: (i) illuminating the original either with light having wavelengths within the W.
sub.
2 region only, or with light having wavelengths in both the W.
sub.
1 and W.
sub.
2 wavelength regions which is filtered after illuminating the original to exclude all light except that having W.
sub.
2 wavelengths, thereby forming a second pattern of light corresponding to the color information; (ii) exposing a second photoreceptor charged to the same polarity as said first photoreceptor to the second pattern of light to form a second electrostatic image of said polarity; and (iii) developing the second electrostatic image with a colored toner.
2.
The method of claim 1 wherein said black and color separation images are transferred in register to a receiver element
