Patent ID: 7143674

Claim:
A method of cutting an imaging member comprising providing an imaging member comprising an imaging layer and a base wherein said base comprises a closed cell foam core sheet and adhered thereto an upper and lower flange sheet, wherein said foam core sheet has a tensile modulus of between 100 and 2758 MPa and a tensile toughness between 0.344 and 35 MPa, and wherein said upper and lower flange sheet has a modulus of between 1380 and 20000 MPa and a toughness between 1.4 and 210 MPa, passing said imaging member through cutters wherein one cutter is an anvil and the second cutter comprises a cutter having a rake angle of between 30 and 70 degrees wherein the ratio of thickness between said foam core sheet and said upper flange sheet is between 0.1 and 10.
