  • High capacity leak resistant release agent delivery system for use in printer devices
    Patent number: 6875164
    Abstract: A toner release agent delivery system for a printing device utilizes a roller which has a plurality of layers of a non-woven textile web. The textile web is comprised of substantially all sub-denier fibers. The release agent delivery system with predominately sub-denier fibers has a very high release agent retention capability with a very low leak rate.

  • Composite non-woven ink absorber
    Patent number: 6809047
    Abstract: A composite non-woven needlefelt ink absorber that is particularly suited for use with an ink jet printer to absorb and disperse waste ink utilizes at least two distinct layers. The layer initially contacted by the ink is low density/course denier. The final ink receiving and retaining layer is high density/fine denier. Any intermediate layers are also intermediate in density and denier.

  • Release agent delivery system for use in printer devices
    Patent number: 6449455
    Abstract: A release agent delivery system for an electrophotographic printing process utilizes a web which is a non-woven textile comprised of substantially all sub-denier fibers. The release agent delivery system using the textile produced with predominantly sub-denier fibers, creates finer oil flow patterns which yield improved print quality though decreased microscopic streaking.

  • Fluorocarbon particle coated textiles for use in electrostatic printing machines
    Patent number: 6054399
    Abstract: A textile material whose fibers have been coated, at least in part, with fluorocarbon particles is usable in an electrophotographic printing machine to clean toner particles off a fuser roll, and to supply a toner release agent to the fuser roll. The textile material can include woven goods, as well as non-woven felts and the like. The resultant product has reduced friction and decreased fiber shedding.
