Abstract

Imaging apparatus includes a drum having an image bearing surface, apparatus for forming an electrostatic image on the image bearing surface, apparatus for developing the electrostatic image using a toner comprising charged toner particles to form a toner image, and an intermediate transfer member. The intermediate transfer member is operative for transfering the toner image from the image bearing surface to a transfer surface of the intermediate transfer member, and pfor subsequent transfer of the image to a substrate. The intermediate transfer member comprises a rigid core and an intermediate transfer blanket attached to the core.
