In an example, a print apparatus comprises an intermediate transfer member to receive thermoplastic print agent from a photoconductive surface, a rotatably mounted endless cleaning surface to receive a layer of thermoplastic print agent from the intermediate transfer member and a heater, to heat the endless cleaning surface. The endless cleaning surface may be to engage with the intermediate transfer member when heated to transfer residue from the intermediate transfer member to the layer of thermoplastic print agent on the endless cleaning surface.

Cleaning surfaces for print apparatus

In an example of the disclosure, a blanket servicing system includes a rotatably mounted endless cleaning surface and a scraper. The endless cleaning surface is to have a first engagement with a blanket to obtain a layer of thermoplastic print agent from the blanket. The endless cleaning surface is to have a second engagement with the blanket to receive residue from the blanket onto the layer of thermoplastic print agent. The scraper is to scrape the endless cleaning surface to transfer the residue from the endless cleaning surface to a collection element.

The present disclosure relates to a method of producing an intermediate transfer blanket. The method includes spray-coating a blanket body with a release layer composition including a curable polysiloxane polymer and solid particles of an electrically conductive material. The blanket body is subjected to motion during spray-coating, such that the release layer composition is subjected to shear forces as it deposits on the blanket body.

According to an example, a resin, a carrier liquid, and a pearlescent pigment may be mixed to form a liquid electrophotographic ink.

Electrophotographic ink including pearlescent pigment

A liquid electrophotographic (LEP) ink can include a liquid ink vehicle, a conductive toner including a conductive pigment and a polymeric binder, and a charge director. The liquid electrophotographic ink can have a conductivity of from 150 to 2000 picoSiemens.

Liquid electrophotographic inks

The present disclosure is drawn to an electrostatic ink composition comprising a resin having a Mof 10,000 or less and a conductive species. Also disclosed herein is a substrate on which is electrostatically printed a conductive trace, wherein the trace comprises a resin having a Mof 10,000 or less and a conductive species. Further disclosed herein is a method of electrophotographic printing an electrostatic ink composition comprising a resin having a Mof 10,000 or less and a conductive species.

Electrostatic ink compositions

A method of electro-photographic printing includes applying a background voltage to a photo imaging plate using a charge roller that moves relative to the photo imaging plate, and varying the applied background voltage as the roller moves relative to the photo imaging plate, wherein the background voltage is varied in a region of the photo imaging plate where no ink is to be transferred.
