摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a determination unit, a print unit, and an image forming blanket. The determination unit may determine a raised support image having a support perimeter to be printed on an impression media corresponding to a type of media. The print unit may at least one of print the image to be transferred by the image forming blanket to the media and print the raised support image determined by the determination unit on the impression media. The support perimeter may be smaller than the media perimeter. The image forming blanket may transfer the image to a front surface of the media from the image forming blanket by contacting the media and bending the edge portion of the media about the raised support image.

Hard image forming apparatuses and methods are described. According to one arrangement, a hard image forming apparatus includes an imaging member comprising a surface, a development system configured to provide a marking agent to the surface of the imaging member to form developed images upon the surface of the imaging member which correspond to latent images formed using the surface of the imaging member, and a transfer system configured to transfer the developed images from the surface of the imaging member to media. The arrangement further includes a contamination removal device configured to remove contamination material from the surface of the imaging member, and a control system configured to control the contamination removal device to contact the surface of the imaging member to remove the contamination material from the surface of the imaging member at a first moment in time and to space the contamination removal device from the surface of the imaging member at a second moment in time where the contamination removal device does not remove the contamination material from the surface of the imaging member.

Vortex flow resisters (20, 220) deliver liquid from an upper chamber (16, 216) to a lower chamber (18, 218) prior to the liquid being distributed onto a cylinder (12, 14, 212, 122).
摘要:
A method of maintaining a photoconductive member of an image forming apparatus is disclosed. The method includes applying fluid to a photoconductive member to form an image thereon, transferring the fluid from the photoconductive member in the form of the image and providing sponge applicator fluid to respective sponge applicator units. The method also includes squeezing the sponge applicator units to remove at least a portion of the sponge applicator fluid therefrom and sequentially placing each one of the sponge applicator units in contact with the photoconductive member to cool and clean the photoconductive member.
摘要:
A method of producing a microtube is provided. The method comprising co-electrospinning two polymeric solutions through co-axial capillaries to thereby produce the microtube, wherein a first polymeric solution of the two polymeric solutions is for forming a shell of the microtube and a second polymeric solution of the two polymeric solutions is for forming a coat over an internal surface of the shell, the first polymeric solution is selected solidifying faster than the second polymeric solution and a solvent of the second polymeric solution is selected incapable of dissolving the first polymeric solution. Also provided are electrospun microtubes.
