摘要:
Each of an intermediate transfer blanket and an intermediate transfer body for electrophotographic printing uses liquid toner for transferring the liquid toner in which toner particles formed by a thermoplastic material and a pigment are distributed and mixed in a petroleum solvent in the liquid toner, and a conducting layer that is formed by urethane rubber is provided on a front surface of a blanket, thereby realizing high-quality electrophotographic printing.
摘要:
Disclosed is a conductive rubber roller, comprising a core metal shaft, an ionic conductive layer formed to surround the outer circumferential surface of the core metal shaft and consisting of a high molecular weight elastomer containing an ionic conducting agent or a foamed body of such a high molecular weight elastomer, an electron conductive layer formed to surround the outer circumferential surface of the ionic conductive layer and consisting of a high molecular weight cellular elastomer containing an electron conducting agent or a high molecular weight cellular elastomer containing an electron conducting agent, a toner contamination preventing layer formed to surround the outer circumferential surface of the electron conductive layer, and an insulating annular sealing member mounted to each of both edges of the ionic conductive layer and the electron conductive layer both extending in the longitudinal direction of the metal core wherein a relationship R1>R2>R3, where R1, R2 and R3 denote, respectively, the electric resistance of the ionic conductive layer, the electron conductive layer and the toner contamination preventing layer, is satisfied, and the annular sealing member has an electric resistance of at least 1013 &OHgr;·cm.
