Title: Geoffrey M T Foley: Innovator in Transfer Belt Technologies

Introduction

Geoffrey M T Foley, located in Fairport, NY, is a prolific inventor with an impressive portfolio of 38 patents. His innovative contributions, particularly in the area of seamless transfer belts for image forming systems, showcase his expertise and dedication to advancing technology in the printing industry.

Latest Patents

Among his latest patents is a groundbreaking process for the fabrication of seamless UV cured intermediate transfer belts (ITBs). This technology involves methods and apparatus that combine a dip-coating process with a UV-curing process. Notably, an ITB substrate is immersed in a liquid coating composition, withdrawn, and subsequently cured using UV light. This process can involve multiple cycles to achieve the desired thickness of the coating layer. Once the ITB substrate is coated, the UV-cured composition is released, forming the intermediate transfer belt.

Another significant patent by Foley is the seamless intermediate transfer member process. This method details the formation of a seamless transfer member, suitable for image forming systems, by spray coating a UV curable polymer and conductive particles onto the inner surface of a rotating cylindrical mandrel, which is then cured with ultraviolet energy.
