Claims13
A transfer member comprising a substrate, an outer layer comprising a silicone rubber, and a release agent material coating on said outer layer, wherein said release agent material comprises a polydimethyl siloxane cationic liquid emulsion.
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 a developer material to said charge-retentive surface to develop said electrostatic latent image to form a developed image on said charge retentive surface;
- a transfer component to transfer the developed image from said charge retentive surface to a copy substrate, said transfer member comprising a substrate, an outer layer comprising a silicone rubber, and a release agent material coating on said outer layer, wherein said release agent material comprises a polydimethyl siloxane cationic liquid emulsion;
- and
- a fixing component to fuse said transferred developed image to said copy substrate.
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 a developer material to said charge-retentive surface to develop said electrostatic latent image to form a developed image on said charge retentive surface;
- and
- a transfuse component to transfer the developed image from said charge retentive surface to a copy substrate and to fuse said developed image to said copy substrate, said transfuse component comprising a substrate having a heating element associated therewith, an outer layer comprising a silicone rubber, and a release agent material coating on said outer layer, wherein said release agent material comprises a polydimethyl siloxane cationic liquid emulsion.
