Abstract
A Hybrid Scavengeless Development electrophotographic printing system is provided wherein the electrode wires contain carbon nanotube yarn. The use of carbon nanotube yarn alleviates the problem of fundamental strobing image defects, because the electrodes made from the carbon nanotube yarn can be put at a higher tension to density set point, and thereby achieve fundamental resonance frequencies larger than that obtainable from steel. Additionally the yarn's strength is sufficient to withstand the typical forces it is subjected to in a Hybrid Scavengeless Development environment.
