    摘要: A process produces a belt-shaped member to be used in an image-forming apparatus is disclosed in which a toner image held on a latent-image-bearing member is electrostatically transferred under application of a voltage via the belt-shaped transfer member. The process includes the steps of melt-extruding a material containing a thermoplastic resin, from a circular die into a cylindrical film; forming the resultant cylindrical film by stretching in such a way that the cylindrical film comes to have a thickness smaller than the die gap of the circular die; and cutting the cylindrical film thus formed, into a seamless belt having a thickness of from 40 &mgr;m to 300 &mgr;m and a modulus in tension of 600 MPa or higher. The stretched cylindrical film is formed to have a thickness not larger than ⅓ of the die gap of the circular die. A belt-shaped transfer member may be produced by the above-described process. The so-produced belt-shaped transfer member is usable as a transfer belt in an image-forming apparatus in which a toner image held on a latent-image-bearing member is electrostatically transferred under application of a voltage via the belt-shaped transfer member.

    摘要: A full-color image forming apparatus for forming an image on a transfer material by transferring a toner image formed on an image bearing member onto the transfer material includes a belt-shaped transfer member for transferring a toner image from the image bearing member onto a transfer material, and a cleaning blade for cleaning the belt-shaped transfer member by being brought into contact therewith. Shape coefficients SF-1 and SF-2 of a toner for forming the toner image have values of 100≦SF-1≦125, and 100≦SF-2≦125, respectively. The belt-shaped transfer member has a seamless shape in which a seam is absent. An amount of abrasion of a surface of the belt-shaped transfer member is equal to or less than 10.0 mg. An angle of contact with respect to water of the belt-shaped transfer member is at least 60°. A slide resistance of a surface of the belt-shaped transfer member is equal to or less than 1 N.

    摘要: An intermediate transfer member is formed by at least a base layer and a surface layer. The base layer is formed by epichlorohydrin rubber and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber mixed in a certain weight ratio (preferably 1:9 to 9:1). The surface layer is formed by urethane resin or elastomer and a fluorine-containing compound powder. The fluorine-containing compound powder may preferably be contained in an amount of 20-80 wt. % based on the surface layer. The intermediate transfer member is suitable for full-color image formation by electrophotography and is effective in improving a transfer performance and providing clear images without causing transfer failure even in repetitive use for a long period.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus has a first image bearing member and an intermediate transfer member onto which a toner image formed on the first image bearing member is primarily transferred and through which the toner image thus transferred is secondarily transferred onto a second image bearing member. The intermediate transfer member has a surface layer on a base layer and the surface layer contains a polyurethane resin obtained by the reaction of an olefinpolyol with an isocyanate.
