Abstract: Methods and devices provide an electrostatically chargeable surface within a printing apparatus and cause a movable lubricant applicator to contact the electrostatically chargeable surface. The movable lubricant applicator is movable to be in contact with the electrostatically chargeable surface, or out of contact with the electrostatically chargeable surface. Such methods control the movable lubricant applicator to be in intermittent contact with the electrostatically chargeable surface during printing operations of the printing apparatus.

Abstract: A polymer composition contains a stimulus-responsive polymer dispersed in a base polymer matrix. The surface free energy of the stimulus-responsive polymer may be reversibly adjustable from a first surface free energy state to a second surface free energy state when heated to a predetermined critical activation temperature. A method of preparing a polymer composition comprises dispersing a stimulus-responsive polymer in a base polymer matrix. A method of printing an image to a substrate comprises applying an aqueous inkjet ink onto an intermediate transfer member using an inkjet printhead, spreading the ink onto the intermediate transfer member, inducing a property change of the ink, and transferring the ink to a substrate, where the intermediate transfer member contains a stimulus-responsive polymer dispersed in a polymer matrix.
