hard surface and uniform electrical properties necessary for the transfer of toner from the print head 14 to the compliant receiver 18 in addition the overcoat layer facilitates efficient toner transfer to the print media 20 the blanket layer 30 is between 0 5 mm and 30 mm thick and preferably between 2 mm and 10 mm its young 39 s modulus should be less than 10 mpa and preferably between 0 5 mpa and 5 mpa the resistivity of the blanket layer should be less than 10 9 ohms cm preferable less than 10 7 ohms cm suitable materials for this blanket layer are polyurethanes silicone rubbers and silicone foams properties of the overcoat layer 32 arc a thickness less than 100 u03bcm and preferably between 5 and 30 u03bcm with a young 39 s modulus greater than 100 mpa its resistivity should be greater than 10 10 ohms cm suitable materials include fluoropolymers sol gels ceramers and polycarbonates preferably this overcoat layer is made of materials having a low force of adhesion to the toner a compliant receiver according to the present invention was constructed by providing a cylindrical aluminum drum 9 5 cm diameter and 7 cm inches long a compliant blanket layer of 6 mm thick polyurethane doped with ferric chloride antistat so that the bulk electrical resistivity was 2 u00d7 10 8 ohm cm and having a young 39 s modulus of 4 83 mpa was cast on the core the blanket layer was then cured in an oven at 150 u00b0 c for 8 hours after curing the blanket layer was.
