Abstract
A printing apparatus has a photo imaging plate to be held at a first voltage having a first polarity, and an intermediate transfer member to receive an intermediate image from the photo imaging plate. The intermediate transfer member is to be held at a second voltage having a second polarity opposite to the first polarity. An electrically conductive member is disposed between the photo imaging plate and the intermediate transfer member.
Claims16
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a photo imaging plate to be held at a first voltage having a first polarity;
- an intermediate transfer member to receive an intermediate image from the photo imaging plate, the intermediate transfer member to be held at a second voltage having a second polarity opposite to the first polarity;
- and
- an electrically conductive member disposed between the photo imaging plate and the intermediate transfer member.
1 more element
A printer comprising:
- an imaging cylinder;
- an image development unit for depositing print fluid on the imaging cylinder to form an intermediate image;
- a blanket to receive the intermediate image from the imaging cylinder at an image transfer region;
- and
- an electrically conductive wire located between the imaging cylinder and the blanket at a region downstream of the image transfer region.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- providing a photo imaging plate held at a first voltage having a first polarity;
- providing an intermediate transfer member to receive an intermediate image from the photo imaging plate, the intermediate transfer member held at a second voltage having a second polarity opposite to the first polarity;
- transferring an intermediate image from the photo imaging plate to the intermediate transfer member via an electromagnetic attraction mechanism;
- and
- providing an electrically conductive structure located between the photo imaging plate and the intermediate transfer member, whereby the electrically conductive structure is to intercept corona discharge between the photo imaging plate and the intermediate transfer member.
