1. A method of forming a transfer member suitable for use with an image forming system, comprising:
- coating an ultraviolet (UV) curable mixture comprising a chlorinated polyester resin, a reactive diluent, conductive species consisting of esters of phosphoric acid or esters of fatty acids, and a photoinitiator; and
curing the UV curable mixture with ultraviolet energy to form an intermediate transfer member (ITB) wherein the conductive species is from about 5 weight percent to about 30 weight percent of the ITB.
