Abstract

In an example, a print agent application assembly includes a print agent transfer roller to receive print agent and transfer a portion of the print agent to a photoconductive surface and a print agent regulator roller to regulate a film thickness of print agent on the print agent transfer roller. The print agent regulator roller may include a nip forming region and a first mounting region. The print agent application assembly may further include a first resilient component which spans a diametrical width of the print agent regulator roller and acts on the print agent regulator roller outside the nip forming region to impart a lateral force to the first mounting region, the lateral force urging the print agent regulator roller towards the print agent transfer roller.
