摘要:
An image transfer blanket for use in a printing apparatus. In one embodiment, the blanket includes an inner layer and an outer layer that overlies the inner layer and that defines an outer surface from which an ink image can be transferred to a print medium, the outer layer not bonded to the inner layer to enable removal and replacement of the outer layer independent of the inner layer.

Liquid toner imaging apparatus including an image bearing surface, apparatus for developing an image on the image bearing surface using a liquid toner including carrier liquid and pigmented particles, and apparatus for transferring a developed image from the image bearing surface to a substrate. The apparatus for developing includes a developer electrode having a developer surface portions of which sequentially come into propinquity with the image bearing surface and subsequently leave propinquity therewith, each region forming a development region during its propinquity and a stationary nozzle for providing liquid toner of a given color to the development region by supplying liquid toner onto a portion of the developer electrode, wherein the nozzle is spaced more than 8.4 mm from any other nozzle which supplies liquid toner of the given color to the development region.
摘要:
An image system including an image bearing surface and an intermediate transfer member operative for transfer of liquid toner images from the image bearing surface to a substrate provides for first transfer engagement between the intermediate transfer member and the image bearing surface for transfer of an image from the image bearing surface to the intermediate transfer member at a first pressure, producing deformation of the intermediate transfer member to a first deformation degree. The system provides for second transfer engagement between the intermediate transfer member and the substrate for transfer of the image from the intermediate transfer member to the substrate at a second pressure, producing deformation of the intermediate transfer member to a second deformation degree.
摘要:
Imaging methods, imaging devices, transfer assemblies, and transfer member lubrication assemblies are described according to some aspects. According to one aspect, an imaging method includes forming a latent image using a first imaging member, using a marking agent, developing the latent image providing a developed image, after the developing, first transferring the marking agent of the developed image to an imaging transfer member, after the first transferring, second transferring the marking agent of the developed image from the imaging transfer member, and lubricating the imaging transfer member during the first and the second transferrings.
