IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An imaging system (20, 120) comprising:
- an intermediate transfer member (34) (ITM) operative for transfer of a toner image from an image bearing surface for a subsequent transfer to a substrate;
the ITM having an outermost surface having a roughness of less than or equal to about 300 Angstroms root-mean-square (RMS); and
an imaging liquid developer system (22) operative to sequentially deposit differently colored layers of pigment containing material onto the outermost surface, wherein at least one of the layers has a final film thickness of less than or equal to 1 μ
m at 100% coverage.

Abstract
An intermediate transfer member (34) (ITM) transfers a toner image from an image bearing surface to a substrate. The ITM has an outermost surface having a roughness of less than or equal to about 300 Angstroms root-mean-square (RMS). An imaging liquid developer system (22) sequentially deposits differently colored layers of pigment containing material onto the outermost surface, wherein at least one of the layers has a final film thickness of less than or equal to 1 μm at 100 percent coverage.
