Abstract
An imaging member having a substrate with a photoconductive layer coated thereon is anisotropic. The anisotropic substrate is stiff along one axis and flexible along another axis. Reinforcing fibers are aligned in the substrate to achieve the relative stiffness.
Claims20
An imaging member, including:
- a substrate;
- and
- a photoconductive layer coated on said substrate, said substrate being anisotropic so as to be stiff along a first axis and flexible along a second axis transverse to the first axis.
A printing machine, including:
- a mechanically anisotropic photoconductive member;
- a plurality of processing stations;
- and
- means for moving said photoconductive member to each of said plurality of processing stations to form a visible image on said photoconductive member.

A printing machine, including:
- a photoconductive member comprising a substrate, and a photoconductive layer coated on said substrate, said substrate being stiff in a direction substantially transfers to the process direction and flexible in a direction substantially parallel to the process direction;
- a plurality of processing stations;
- and
- means for moving said photoconductive member to each of said plurality of processing stations to form a visible image on said photoconductive member.
