Abstract
A three-layer image transfer belt having an uppermost surface that has been altered to reduce surface gloss and induce a desirable surface topography is presented. The image transfer belt can comprise a three layer laminate. In one embodiment, the base layer can be a polyimide, the intermediate layer can be a rubber/elastomer and the surface layer can be a fluoropolymer. In another embodiment, the base layer can also comprise a fabric for belt reinforcement. The desired surface topography improves toner release and print quality. The reduction of surface gloss of the image transfer belt is achieved by creating a linear pattern oriented in the machine direction or a grid-like pattern into the uppermost surface of the image transfer belt. The reduction of surface gloss of the image transfer belt is achieved without a significant change in surface rougheness.
