Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An intermediate transfer member containing a multi-block copolymer containing at least an A block and a B block, wherein the A block has a higher surface energy than the B block, and a method of forming an intermediate transfer member. A method of printing an image to a substrate including applying an ink onto the intermediate receiving member using an inkjet printhead; spreading the ink onto the intermediate receiving member; inducing a property change of the ink; and transferring the ink to a substrate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An intermediate transfer member comprising a composition comprising: a multi-block copolymer containing at least an A block and a B block, wherein the A block has a higher surface energy than the B block and further wherein a differential surface free energy between the A block and the B block is from about 5 to about 25 mN/m. 2. The intermediate transfer member of claim 1 , wherein the A block has a surface energy of greater than ab…
