IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240302768 titled 'IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS
The image-forming apparatus described in the patent application includes two photosensitive drums, two image-forming portions with development rollers bearing developers made of toner particles with organosilicon protrusions, an intermediate transfer member for transferring a developer image, and a transfer member for transferring the image to a recording material.
- First and second photosensitive drums
- First and second image-forming portions with development rollers
- Developers composed of toner particles with organosilicon protrusions
- Intermediate transfer member for transferring developer image
- Transfer member for transferring image to recording material
- Protrusions on the second developer have lower height than those on the first developer
Potential Applications: - Printing industry - Photocopying machines - Digital printing technology
Problems Solved: - Enhanced image quality - Improved transfer efficiency - Reduced toner consumption
Benefits: - Crisp and clear images - Cost-effective printing solutions - Environmentally friendly technology
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image-Forming Technology for Printing Industry This technology can be used in commercial printers, photocopiers, and digital printing presses, offering high-quality prints and cost-effective solutions for businesses in the printing industry.

Original Abstract Submitted
an image-forming apparatus includes first and second photosensitive drums, first and second image-forming portion including first and second development rollers configured to bear developers composed of first and second toner particles and organosilicon protrusions formed on surfaces of the first and second toner particles, an intermediate transfer member to which a developer image is to be transferred in first and second contact portions in contact with the first and second photosensitive drums, and a transfer member configured to transfer the developer image to a recording material in a transfer portion. the first contact portion is formed downstream of the transfer portion and upstream of the second contact portion in a movement direction of the surface of the intermediate transfer member. a protrusion formed on the second developer has a lower height than a protrusion formed on the first developer.
