    摘要: A roller for improved conditioning of an image formed from a liquid developer comprised of toner particles and liquid carrier. A wire mesh uniformly covering an inner layer of the roller uniformly distributes an electrical bias closer to the surface of the roller and to the adjacent image bearing surface. The electrical bias has the same sign polarity as that of the toner particles of the image, to electrostatically repel and prevent the toner particles from entering the roller, and for compacting the toner particles to the image. The wire mesh reduces the electrical requirements of the materials used for the roller.

    摘要: A system for removing residual contaminants from an image conditioning apparatus that removes excess liquid from a developed image made up of toner particles immersed in a liquid carrier medium on an image bearing member. The system includes a vacuum blotting device that contacts the liquid developed image and absorbs a portion of the liquid carrier and residual contaminants remain thereon. A contact member adapted to be shifted from a non-operative position spaced from the vacuum blotting device, to an operative position in contact with the vacuum blotting device operates to transfer the contaminants therefrom. A scraper removes the transferred contaminants from the contact member. The contact member is pivotally mounted about the pivot point to effect shifting of the contact member between the non-operative and the operative position.

    摘要: Apparatuses useful in printing and methods of fixing marking materials on media in apparatuses useful in printing are provided. An exemplary embodiment of the apparatuses useful in printing includes a first fixing device disposed along a first media path. The first fixing device includes a first fixing member including a first surface and a second fixing member including a second surface which forms a first nip with the first surface. The first fixing device does not include a thermal energy source that actively heats the first surface or the second surface and the first fixing device is adapted to apply pressure to a medium received at the first nip. A second fixing device is disposed along a second media path. The second fixing device includes at least one thermal energy source adapted to supply thermal energy to actively heat the medium at the second fixing device. A controller is configured to selectively route the medium to the first fixing device or to the second fixing device.

    摘要: A high differential air pressure assisted blotting device for conditioning, on an image bearing member, liquid developer images consisting of charged toner particles and carrier liquid. The high differential air pressure blotting device includes a movable porous blotter belt forming an endless loop and having an outer surface for contacting and blotting carrier liquid from an image being conditioned, and a backup roller positioned at a first location within the endless loop for contacting a first portion of the blotter belt to gently urge the blotter belt into blotting-contact with the image being conditioned. Importantly, the high differential air pressure blotting device includes a high differential air pressure assembly positioned at a second location spaced from the image being conditioned so as not to disturb the image, and from the first location for contacting a second portion of the blotter belt and applying a high differential air pressure to such second portion to force carrier liquid out of the blotter belt before such second portion recontacts an image being conditioned.
