Patent number: 7013104Abstract: A toner layer regulating system for an electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a toner carrier; a toner regulating member (e.g., doctor blade) disposed proximate the toner carrier, with the toner regulating member having a first surface disposed toward the toner carrier and forming a nip with the toner carrier. The toner regulating member comprise a flexible metallic substrate and a metallic coating on the first surface in an area thereof forming the nip. The coating on the toner regulating member comprises a material selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, tungsten carbide, and alloys thereof. The coating may be substantially homogeneous and/or have a thickness of not more than 30 um. The coating may have a relatively smooth surface roughness of ?2.0 um Ra.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2004Date of Patent: March 14, 2006Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: David Starling MacMillan, Vernon Wayne Ulrich, Jarrett C.

Patent number: 5874172Abstract: An electrophotographic developer roller is made by casting urethane prepolymer mixed with a polybutadiene, a trifunctional curative, ferric chloride powder, and an antioxidant. After curing, the roller is baked, which oxidizes the outer surface. The oxidized surface layer is electrically resistive, which is desirable in a developer roller. An excellent developer roller is achieved at low production cost. The antioxidant provides stable electrical characteristics over extended time periods.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1997Date of Patent: February 23, 1999Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: Bradley Leonard Beach, Jean Marie Massie, Johnny Dale Massie, II, Ronald Lloyd Roe
