Abstract
An imaging member including a metal or metallized substrate; an undercoat layer comprising a polymer resin and a near infrared absorbing component that absorbs at an imaging member exposure wavelength and has a high molar extinction coefficient; and one or more additional layers disposed on the undercoat layer, wherein the additional layer or layers comprise a charge-generating component and a charge-transport component.

An image forming apparatus for forming images on a recording medium comprising:
- a) a photoreceptor member having a charge retentive surface to receive an electrostatic latent image thereon, wherein said photoreceptor member comprises a conductive substrate, an undercoat layer comprising a polymer resin and a near infrared region absorbing component having a high molar extinction coefficient, wherein the near infrared absorbing component is soluble in an undercoat layer solvent, a charge-generating layer, and a charge transport layer comprising charge transport materials dispersed therein;
- b) a development component to apply a developer material to said charge-retentive surface to develop said electrostatic latent image to form a developed image on said charge-retentive surface;
- c) a transfer component for transferring said developed image from said charge-retentive surface to another member or a copy substrate;
- and
- d) a fusing member to fuse said developed image to said copy substrate.
