ABSTRACT:
A printing system including a moving intermediate transfer member for transporting a developed image from a moving image bearing member to a moving copy substrate. The moving intermediate member includes an elastic belt adapted to receive the developed image from the moving image bearing member at a first nip formed between the moving image bearing member and the moving intermediate member, and further adapted to transfer the developed image from the moving intermediate member to the moving copy substrate at a second nip formed between the moving intermediate member and the moving copy substrate, wherein the moving image bearing member and the moving intermediate member are transported at a substantiality equivalent first velocity in the first nip and a second velocity, substantially different from the first velocity, in the second nip. The combination of an elastic belt and differential velocities permits for the selective compression and stretching of the intermediate transfer member along a path of travel thereof.
