Abstract
An intermediate transfer member having a fluorinated carbon filled polyimide layer which exhibits controlled conductivity is set forth, and in embodiments, the fluorinated carbon filled polyimide layer is a substrate having an optional intermediate conformable layer thereon, and having on the intermediate layer, an optional outer release layer.
Claims21
An intermediate transfer member comprising a fluorinated carbon filled polyimide substrate and a conformable layer positioned on said fluorinated carbon filled substrate.
An intermediate transfer belt for transferring a liquid image having at least a liquid carrier with toner particles dispersed therein from a member to a substrate, comprising a fluorinated carbon filled polyimide substrate, and having thereon a fluoroelastomer intermediate layer, and positioned thereon an outer silicone rubber release layer.
An 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 toner to said charge-retentive surface to develop said electrostatic latent and to form a developed image on said charge retentive surface;
- an intermediate transfer member to transfer the developed image from said charge retentive surface to a substrate, wherein said intermediate transfer member comprises a fluorinated carbon filled polyimide layer and a conformable layer positioned on said fluorinated carbon filled substrate;
- and
- a fixing component.
