ABSTRACT:
A method of drying carrier liquid from a toner image on a photoreceptor or from a photoreceptor after transfer to a final substrate comprises providing an electrophotographic apparatus comprising at least a) a photoreceptor, b) a continuous absorbent drying sheet having a beginning and an end, the beginning attached to a take-up roll or spool and the end attached to a supply roll or spool, the intermediate portion thereof coiled around the supply spool with at least a portion of the sheet contacting the photoreceptor. The process includes providing a toned image on the photoreceptor; contacting the continuous absorbent drying sheet to the toned image on the photoreceptor, or to the photoreceptor itself after the image is transferred away, creating a used portion of the continuous absorbent drying sheet; and simultaneously disbursing fresh length of the continuous absorbent drying sheet and taking-up the used portion of the continuous drying sheet.
