ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating a blotter roll for uniformly conditioning liquid images consisting of toner particles and carrier liquid. The method includes electroforming a semi-rigid resilient and perforated metallic substrate for preventing undesirable impressions of substrate outlines and footprints on an image being conditioned. The resilient metallic substrate is electroformed so as to be seamless and to have a cylindrical hollow interior, and first and second open ends. The method next includes forming at least a first absorbent foam layer over the semi-rigid resilient substrate for absorbing carrier liquid from the image being conditioned, and filling the cylindrical hollow interior of the semi-rigid resilient substrate using a porous foam insert for rigidifying the semi-rigid resilient substrate, and for uniformly spreading throughout the hollow interior, vacuum effects on the image being conditioned, of a vacuum source connected to the hollow interior for drawing carrier liquid from the image being conditioned.
