There is described an intermediate transfer member for digital offset printing, comprising: a cured silicone release layer formed by curing a curable silicone release formulation comprising: a polyalkylsiloxane containing at least two vinyl groups having a weight average molecular weight of 60,000 g/mol or less; a polyalkylsiloxane containing two vinyl groups having a weight average molecular weight of at least 65,000 g/mol; a polyalkylsiloxane cross-linker containing at least two Si—H bonds; and a catalyst or a photoinitiator. There is also described a method of producing an intermediate transfer member, and a curable silicone release formulation for an intermediate transfer member.

Intermediate transfer member and method of production thereof

A transfer surface of an intermediate transfer member in a printing apparatus is treated using an electrical discharge surface treatment. The treatment of the intermediate transfer member is to reduce negative dot gain from a previous image in subsequent printing or increase wettability of a silicone-based release layer.

Electrical discharge surface treatment

The present disclosure relates to an intermediate transfer member for use in electrophotographic printing. The intermediate transfer member comprises a release layer comprising fluoropolymer particles dispersed in a silicone polymer matrix.

Intermediate transfer members

A transfer surface of an intermediate transfer member is treated using an electrical discharge surface treatment. The intermediate transfer member is comprised in a printing apparatus.

Herein is disclosed an intermediate transfer member for liquid electrophotographic printing. The intermediate transfer member may include at least one layer including a thermoplastic polyurethane. A liquid electrophotographic printer and a method of forming an intermediate transfer member are also described.

Liquid electrophotographic printing apparatus and intermediate transfer members

Electrostatic printing apparatus and intermediate transfer members Herein is disclosed an intermediate transfer member for use in an electrostatic printing process, the intermediate transfer member having an outer release layer comprising a polysiloxane that has been cross-linked using an addition cure process such that it contains Si&#x2014;R&#x2014;Si bonds, wherein R is an alkylene moiety, and a monoalkenylsiloxane has been reacted with and incorporated into the polysiloxane. An electrostatic printing apparatus comprising the intermediate transfer member is also disclosed.
