A materials kit for three-dimensional (3D) printing can include a powder bed material including from about 60 wt % to 100 wt % composite fibers including glass fibers coated with an encapsulating polymer, wherein the composite fibers have an average length of from about 100 μm to about 700 μm and an average diameter of from about 20 μm to about 70 μm. The materials kit for 3D printing can also include a fusing agent including an energy absorber to absorb electromagnetic radiation to produce heat.

Three-dimensional printing

A materials kit for three-dimensional (3D) printing can include a powder bed material including electroactive polymer particles including electroactive polymer having a melting temperature from about 100° C. to about 250° C. and a fusing agent including a radiation absorber to selectively apply to the powder bed material.

A materials kit for 3D printing can include a powder bed material including from about 60 wt % to 100 wt % composite fibers having an average aspect ratio from about 3:1 to about 30:1 and a fusing agent including an energy absorber to absorb electromagnetic radiation to produce heat. The composite fibers can include glass fibers coated with an encapsulating polymer, wherein the glass fibers can be included at from about 5 wt % to about 40 wt % based on the total weight of the powder bed material.

Examples include an end cap system for a developer unit in a liquid photographic printer. The end cap system includes an end cap and a film that includes a first outermost superficial layer and a second outermost superficial layer opposed to the first outermost superficial layer. The first outermost superficial layer is a pressure sensitive adhesive layer applied to a portion of an inner surface of the end cap. The second outermost superficial layer is a low surface energy layer to be exposed to liquid photographic printing fluid during printing.

End caps and films

In one example, a developer roller for liquid electrophotographic printing includes a cylindrical metal inner core, a rigid conductive plastic outer core surrounding the inner core, and a compliant exterior surrounding the outer core.

Developer roller for liquid electrophotographic printing

In one example, a seal for a developer roller in a liquid electrophotographic printer includes an arcuate body curved along a body arc. The body has an inboard face that defines an annular sealing surface along the body arc to contact a face on one end of the developer roller and a guide surface across the body arc at a first end of the annular sealing surface. The guide surface is oriented along a chord of the body arc and intersects the body arc at an obtuse interior angle, to guide any ink encountering the guide surface outward toward the circular outer surface of the developer roller.

The present disclosure discloses a charge roller () particularly but not exclusively for charging a photoconductor in a liquid electro-photograph (LEP) image-forming apparatus. The charge roller includes a cured composition of an epichlorohydrin/ethylene oxide/allyl glycidyl ether terpolymer, a lithium salt and carbon black.

Charge roller

The present disclosure relates to a liquid electrophotographic ink developer unit. The unit comprises a developer roller, and a secondary roller that co-operates with the developer roller. The developer roller is formed of a material having a specific resistivity of less than 1&#xd7;10&#x3a9;&#xb7;cm. The secondary roller is formed of a material having a specific resistivity of 1&#xd7;10to 1&#xd7;10&#x3a9;&#xb7;cm.

Liquid electrophotographic ink developer unit

In some examples, a printing liquid developer includes a developer roller that has a hollow tubular base body formed of a material including conductive carbon fiber, a conductive, compliant layer around an outer surface of the hollow tubular base body, and an electrically conductive support separate from the hollow tubular base body and electrically contacted to a surface of the hollow tubular base body.

Printing liquid developer

The present disclosure discloses a new charge roller particularly but not exclusively for charging a photoconductive element in a liquid electro-photograph (LEP) image-forming apparatus. The charge roller includes a cured composition of an aromatic diisocyanate, a polycarbonate polyester polyol, a matte agent, a surface energy modifier, and a conductive agent.

A printer includes a surface configured to carry an electrostatic charge and a printing material forming an image, a transfer member configured to carry printing material from the surface to media and a heater external to the transfer member. The heater is configured to heat printing material being carried by the transfer member.
