GUNZE LIMITED has commercialized the intermediate transfer belt made of polycarbonate since 1989, and has been dedicated to improve the belt on the basis of customers' needs. In order to obtain high resolution of the electrophotography, it is required in transfer process to avoid degrading the toner image formed on the OPC, transfer it successively to overlap one another on the belt, and complete the color image formed by four toner images on the belt at once, to a wide variety of printing media. G2XC belt which GUNZE developed has showed its performance of the stability of the charge and its removal, and to give high-quality images stably for long period of time. In this report, studies on the image degradations were reviewed with the fundamental technologies, and how to prevent the image degradation by using practical material technologies.
