Abstract
A “drelt” photoreceptor particularly for use in high speed production color printers employing a lightweight porous machinable mandrel made of a foam material as a means of mounting a flexible belt photoreceptor on a rigid and lightweight cylindrical base. This porous foam—like cylinder is provided with means to temporarily decrease its circumference in order to mount the flexible belt on it. The foam material can be any material that can be formed into a foam type solid structure and then machined to certain precision. Examples of such foam material include a metal foam, a polymer foam, a ceramic foam or a carbon foam.
