Abstract:
A seamed or seamless intermediate transfer member comprising a layer having an oxidized charge transport molecule, a charge transport molecule, or mixtures thereof, wherein in the seamed embodiment, the seam adhesive may also include an oxidized charge transport molecule, a charge transport molecule, or mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
An adhesive having polyamide and an electrically conductive filler dispersed or contained therein, for use in bonding components of electrostatographic, contact electrostatic, digital and other like printing machines.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electrical component, which has an electrically conductive composition that is stable at high temperatures, and includes a partially pyrolized carbon based powder filler and a host matrix. The present invention also relates to an electrophotographic system which further is stable at conventional ambient environmental use conditions, such as different humidity levels and/or ambient temperature ranges.
Abstract:
A seamed flexible belt having a substrate and a seam having interlocking seam members, wherein the interlocking seam members are held together by an adhesive having polyamide and an optional electrically conductive filler, for use in electrostatographic, contact electrostatic, digital and other like printing machines.
Abstract:
A phase change ink image producing machine including (a) a control subsystem for controlling operation of all subsystems and components of the image producing machine; (b) melting apparatus for melting solid phase change ink into melted molten liquid ink; (c) a printhead system located for receiving said melted molten liquid ink, said printhead system being connected to said control subsystem for ejecting droplets of melted molten liquid ink onto an imaging member to form an image and a liquid ink imaging member having a top outer imaging surface for receiving image forming ink droplets from a printhead. The liquid ink imaging member includes (i) a substrate member; (ii) at least one elastomeric layer formed over the substrate member and including the top outer imaging surface; and (iii) a surface texture formed into the top outer imaging surface and comprising asperities spaced apart at most from about one-half to about one pixel spot size for providing contact angle hysteresis to pin image forming ink droplets received thereon, thereby preventing ink droplet drawback, and resulting in quality images.

Abstract:
An endless seamed flexible belt comprising a first end and a second end which join together to form a seam, the seam having an adhesive with an oxidized charge transport molecule, a charge transport molecule, or mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
Imageable seamed intermediate transfer belts having a large seam surface area, and marking machines that use such imageable seamed intermediate transfer belts. The seamed intermediate transfer belt having an inner surface and an outer surface having predefine surface properties for the purpose of imaging. A belt is formed from a semiconductive substrate having a first end and a second end that are mated to form a seam. An adhesive is disposed over the joint whereupon joint can be burnished or overcoated with a material that substantially imitate predefined surface properties of the belt.
