ABSTRACT:
In a reproduction method and apparatus, a marking particle image is formed on an image-supporting member. A moving web supports a receiver member to advance the receiver member into a nip defined between the image-supporting member and a transfer roller. The web is in the nip during transfer so that the receiver member is between the web and the image-supporting member. An electrical transfer field is established in the nip for electrostatically transferring the marking particle image to the receiver member. A support roller presses against a portion of a roller surface of the transfer roller that does not form the nip to reduce bending of a portion of the rolling surface of the transfer roller that is associated with the nip.
