Abstract
A method of producing a coating on a member comprising: providing a body portion; coating the body portion with a catalyst material for a release coating material; and overcoating the catalyst material with an uncured polymer material for which the catalyst is active. Preferably, the release coating material is a condensation type silicone.
Claims50
A method of producing a release coating on an intermediate transfer member, suitable for receiving a toner image on said coating and transferring the toner image to a further surface, the member comprising:
- providing an intermediate transfer member body portion;
- coating the body portion with a catalyst material;
- overcoating the catalyst material with an uncured polymer material for which the catalyst is active;
- and
- curing tie polymer material to form the release coating.
An intermediate transfer member for toner images, suitable for receiving a toner image from a first surface and transferring it to a second surface, comprising:
- a body portion;
- a release layer comprising a cured polymer material produced from a precursor material the body portion;
- and
- an underlayer between the release layer and the body portion, wherein the underlayer comprises a catalyst that is active for curing the precursor material,
- wherein the release coating layer comprises a condensation type silicone.
