Patent ID: 7588873

Claim:
A method of recoating an organic photoconductive drum comprising: providing a used organic photoconductive drum, said used organic photoconductive drum having been previously used in an electro photographic process, said electro photographic process using dry toner, said used organic photoconductive drum having a first surface, said used organic photoconductive drum comprising a conductive substrate, a charge generation layer disposed between said conductive substrate and said first surface of said used organic photoconductive drums, a charge transport layer being disposed between said charge generation layer and said first surface; cleaning the first surface of said organic photoconductive drum; providing a dielectric non-polar liquid having a viscosity less than 200 cSt at 40 degrees Celsius, said dielectric non-polar liquid having a surface energy less than a surface energy of the first surface of said used organic photoconductive drum; and applying the dielectric non-polar liquid to the first surface of the used organic photoconductive drum to form a second surface on the used organic photoconductive drum comprising a layer of said dielectric non-polar liquid.
