An intermediate transfer member includes a base layer and a top thermoplastic film forming polymer layer. The base layer can include carbon and the thermoplastic film forming polymer layer can include electrical property regulating materials. This intermediate transfer member shows improved mechanical as well as electrical properties. It can be employed in an electrophotographic imaging device having at least one photoreceptor and can print an image on a suitable substrate such as paper with improved toner image formation.

A photoelectrophoretic imaging machine for producing, in a preferred embodiment, full color copies from opaque originals, or alternatively, copies from transparencies.

Photoelectrophoretic pigment discharging with A.C. corotron or U.V.

A photoelctrophoretic imaging apparatus for controlling tension of a transported conductive web. In a preferred embodiment, the web tension is controlled by an electrostatic capstan roller driven by an A.C. motor and gear box through an overdriven clutch. Tension is supplied to the web from the electrostatic capstan roller through electrostatic tacking force between the roller and the web. The electrostatic tacking force is obtained by grounding the conductive side of the web and applying a pulsed D.C. voltage to the rolls.
