Abstract
An electroconductive endless belt is used for a tandem transfer/transport system. The system is configured to allow the electroconductive endless belt to hold a recording medium using electrostatic attraction, to drive the belt circularly by the action of a drive member so as to transport the recording medium held by the belt to four different image-forming members, and to transfer respective toner images provided on the image-forming members sequentially onto the recording medium. The electroconductive endless belt includes a thermoplastic resin as a base resin, an acrylic-modified polytetrafluoroethylene, and an electroconductive material.
Claims14
An electroconductive endless belt for use as an intermediate transfer member, the intermediate transfer member being disposed between an image-forming member and a recording medium and being configured to be circularly driven by a drive member, to temporarily hold toner images transferred from the surface of the image-forming member, and to transfer the toner images onto the recording medium, the electroconductive endless belt comprising:
- a thermoplastic resin as a base resin;
- an acrylic-modified polytetrafluoroethylene;
- and
- an electroconductive material.
