A method for processing a thin film layer, for example to form an ink jet printhead, can include the use of an adhesive layer that can be converted from a first state having a first adhesive force to a second state having a second adhesive force, where the first state is stronger than the second state. Conversion from the first state to the second state can be performed using a suitable treatment. In an embodiment, the adhesive layer may be a thermal release material that is converted during a heat treatment. In another embodiment, the adhesive layer may be a layer that is sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, and is converted during exposure to UV light emitted by a UV light source.

A release agent applicator displaying decreased and consistent surface resistivity, and a method of making same. The release agent applicator includes an foam delivery surface having an ionic layer such that the surface resistivity of the delivery surface is reduced, thereby decreasing the chances of static charge accumulation on the roller that may interfere with high quality printing.
