  • Method for paper treatment
    Patent number: 8822017
    Abstract: A surface treatment method of oil contaminated xerographic prints which increases the surface energy of the print to levels close to the values corresponding to the original uncontaminated paper. Subjecting the contaminated surface to both ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ozone can change the chemical structure of the surface of the paper in such a way that a highly polar surface is created as a consequence of this treatment, leading to enhanced adhesion properties of the xerographic print.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 2009
    Date of Patent: September 2, 2014
    Assignee: Xerox Corporation
    Inventors: Nicoleta Mihai, Samantha M. Roland, Guiqin Song, Gordon Sisler, T. Brian McAneney
  • Reduction of contamination on image members by UV ozone treatment
    Patent number: 8364054
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide a method and a system that can include a combined UV radiation and ozone treatment for reducing contamination built-up on surfaces of image members within a printing system.
