摘要:
A seamless intermediate transfer member has a reinforcing member in an endless configuration, a filler material such as a polymer and electrical property regulating material to regulate the electrical properties such as surface and bulk resistivity, dielectric constant and charge dissipation. The seamless intermediate transfer member also has good mechanical properties. The reinforcing member can be prepared by any suitable method such as by weaving. Filler material and electrical regulating material can be applied on, around or embedded into the reinforcing member. The member can be employed in an electrostatographic imaging system with more than one toner imaging station. The member can pick up a separate image from each individual imaging station and transfer the combined image to a suitable substrate. The seamless intermediate transfer member is capable of dissipating charge between toner imaging stations, achieving good transfer efficiencies and has a non-stretch characteristic to attain good registration of a toner image.

Disclosed is a process for affecting a reduction in the energy needed for accomplishing the flash fusing of a developed image which comprises (1) providing a toner composition with resin particles, pigment particles, and wax; (2) introducing the aforementioned toner composition into a xerographic imaging apparatus having incorporated therein a flash fusing device; (3) generating an electrostatic latent image in said imaging apparatus, and subsequently developing this image with said toner composition; (4) transferring the image to a supporting substrate; and (5) permanently attaching the image to the substrate with energy emitted from a flash fusing device, and wherein there is formed between the supporting substrate and the toner composition during fusing a wax layer.
摘要:
A cleaning station for removing toner and particulates from a fusing member has first and second cleaning rollers rollingly engaging the fusing member. Each cleaning roller has a roller surface coated with a layer of tacky toner. Each roller further defines an internal receiver for collecting excess toner and particulates, and has an aperture forming a fluid passage between the reservoir and the surface of the roller. A synchronization assembly synchronizes the rotation of the rollers so the second cleaning roller cleans the portions of the fusing member uncleaned by the first cleaning roller due to the aperture in the surface of the first cleaning roller.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for reproducing color images on the electrophotographic printing machine with liquid developer, wherein there is enabled with such developers in embodiments excellent fixing characteristics especially when the developed image being in two distinct liquid phases is transferred from an intermediate substrate to the final substrate, such as paper. In embodiments of the present invention there is provided developers and processes for achieving high fix. The liquid developed image is concentrated to 30 to 45 percent solid by removing carrier liquid and thereafter heated on the intermediate substrate.

A transfusing member having a compression layer comprised of a highly conformable, low durometer material with a low surface tension. The transfusing member forms a first transfer nip characterized by a first pressure with a photoreceptive surface and a second transfer nip characterized by a second pressure, which is of the same order of magnitude as the first pressure, with a backup roller.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for transferring a developed image made up of toner particles and a liquid carrier to copy sheet, wherein the developed image is heated to a temperature such that the toner particles are sintered to form a coherent bonded network of toner particles without melting the individual toner particles to form a substantially solid mass, and where the coalesced toner particles still retain mobility in an electrostatic field.
