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.
Claims25
An intermediate transfer apparatus comprising:
- a) an image carrying charge retentive member capable of carrying a developed to be transferred to an intermediate transfer member;
- b) an intermediate transfer member for accepting the developed image from the image carrying charge retentive member and transferring to an image accepting member;
- c) an image accepting member for accepting the developed image from the intermediate transfer member;
- said intermediate transfer member having a layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of an oxidized charge transport molecule, a charge transport molecule, and mixtures thereof.
An intermediate transfer apparatus for transferring a developed image from a charge retentive surface to an image receiving member, wherein the intermediate transfer member comprises a substrate having a first end and a second end, each of the first end and the second end comprising a plurality of mutually mating elements which join in an interlocking relationship to form a seam, the seam comprising an adhesive, wherein the substrate and the adhesive both comprise a material selected from the group consisting of an oxidized charge transport molecule, a charge transport molecule, and mixtures thereof.
An image forming apparatus for forming images on a recording medium comprising:
- a charge-retentive surface to receive an electrostatic latent image thereon;
- a development component to apply toner to the charge-retentive surface to develop the electrostatic latent image to form a developed image on the charge retentive surface;
- an intermediate transfer member to transfer the developed image from the charge retentive surface to a receiving substrate, wherein the intermediate transfer member comprises a layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of an oxidized charge transport molecule, a charge transport molecule and mixtures thereof;
- and a fixing component to fuse the developed image to the receiving substrate.
