Described herein is a method of forming a seamless transfer member suitable for use with an image forming system. The method includes spray coating a UV curable polymer and conductive particles onto an inner surface of a rotating cylindrical mandrel. The UV curable polymer is cured with ultra violet energy. The cured UV polymer is removed from the cylindrical rotatable mandrel.

Various embodiments provide methods and apparatus for forming intermediate transfer belts (ITBs) by combining a dip-coating process with a UV-curing process. In an embodiment, an ITB substrate can be immersed into a liquid coating composition contained in a dip tank and then withdrawn from the liquid coating composition. When exiting the dip tank, the coated substrate can enter a UV-curing chamber for a UV-curing process. Multiple cycles of dip-coating and UV-curing can be performed such that a desired ITB substrate coating layer thickness can be obtained. After coating the ITB substrate, the UV-cured coating composition can be released from the ITB substrate, wherein the UV-cured coating composition released from the ITB substrate forms the intermediate transfer belt.

A flexible belt is disclosed which includes a major segment and at least one narrow minor segment, the narrow minor segment extending from one end of the belt to the opposite end and being more extendible than the major segment when subjected to an externally applied tension. This belt may be a component of a composite cylindrical device including a rigid drum substrate supporting the flexible belt in a stretched condition. The composite cylindrical device may be fabricated by providing a preformed rigid cylindrical support drum having a predetermined outer circumference, a first end and a second end, providing a flexible belt having an outer surface and an inner surface circumference of at least about 0.05 percent smaller than the outer circumference of the support drum, the belt including a major segment and at least one narrow minor segment, the narrow minor segment extending from one end of the belt to the opposite end and being more extendible than the major segment under the same applied tension, circumferentially expanding the belt with a flowing fluid under pressure until the inner surface circumference of the belt adjacent the first end is stretched to a new dimension of at least about 0.1 percent greater than the outer circumference of the support drum while maintaining the belt below the elastic limit of the belt, sliding the belt onto the support drum from the first end toward the second end of the support drum until substantially all of the belt encircles the outer surface of the support drum, and terminating the flow of the flowing liquid to allow the belt to contract onto the outer surface of the support drum.

摘要:
A photoreceptor and method eliminate interference-fringe print defect due to interference effects caused by reflected beams from various interfaces in a multilayered photoreceptor. The substrate surface is formed with specific dimensions so as to enable the coating of the substrate with an undercoat film including, for example, an organometallic compound or an organometallic chelate compound such as any suitable hydrolyzable organozirconium, organotitanium or organoaluminum compound with a silane. Elimination of the "pepper spot" print defect is accomplished without the addition of a thickening agent to the undercoat film.
