  • Method to reduce surface resistivity of a release agent applicator in a printing apparatus
    Patent number: 8679590
    Abstract: A release agent applicator displaying decreased and consistent surface resistivity, and a method of making same. The release agent applicator includes an foam delivery surface having an ionic layer such that the surface resistivity of the delivery surface is reduced, thereby decreasing the chances of static charge accumulation on the roller that may interfere with high quality printing.
    Type: Grant
