Abstract
A contacting member contacts a region of a contacted member to which a liquid composition has been applied. The contacting member has a substrate and a fluororesin fiber layer containing a fluororesin fiber. One side of the fluororesin fiber layer is directly or indirectly fixed to the substrate and another side of the fluororesin fiber layer contacts the contacted member. A ratio X/Y is less than 1.00, wherein X is a presence ratio of the fluororesin fiber in the fluororesin fiber layer on the side which is directly or indirectly fixed to the substrate and Y is a presence ratio of the fluororesin fiber in the fluororesin fiber layer on the other side which contacts the contacted member.
Claims19
A contacting member that contacts a region of a contacted member to which a liquid composition has been applied, comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a fluororesin fiber layer containing a fluororesin fiber,
- wherein one side of the fluororesin fiber layer is directly or indirectly fixed to the substrate and another side of the fluororesin fiber layer contacts the contacted member,
- wherein a ratio X/Y is greater than or equal to 0.3 and less than 1.00, wherein X is a presence ratio of the fluororesin fiber in the fluororesin fiber layer on the side which is directly or indirectly fixed to the substrate and Y is a presence ratio of the fluororesin fiber in the fluororesin fiber layer on the other side which contacts the contacted member,
- and wherein the contacted member is a recording medium.
