ENDLESS INTERMEDIATE TRANSFER BELT FOR FORMING ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS EQUIPPED WITH THE INTERMEDIATE TRANSFER BELT, AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD USING THE INTERMEDIATE TRANSFER BELT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endless intermediate transfer belt for forming an electrophotographic image constituted so that the slack of the belt may be reduced and that the positional deviation of the image formed on the intermediate transfer belt may be prevented.;SOLUTION: Regarding the endless intermediate transfer belt for forming the electrophotographic image, every color toner image separately formed on a plurality of photoreceptors is transferred by the belt so as to form a multi-color image, and the multi-color image is transferred by the belt to a transfer material, and the endless intermediate transfer belt is manufactured as follows, a mixture of a solution of a thermosetting resin and a particulate conductive material is poured into a centrifugal mold, and the centrifugal mold is rotated, and sticking material sticking on the inner peripheral surface of the centrifugal mold is heated, and the sticking material imidized ≤ 98% by heating is extended, and the whole sticking material is hardened, then, the belt is obtained.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
