Abstract:
An intermediate transfer member (ITM) for use in a printing system to transport an ink image from an image forming station to an impression station for transfer of the ink image from the ITM onto a printing substrate, wherein the ITM is an endless flexible belt of substantially uniform width which, during use, passes over drive and guide rollers and is guided through at least the image forming station by means of guide channels that receive formations provided on both lateral edges of the belt, wherein the formations on a first edge differ from the formations on the second edge by being configured for providing the elasticity desired to maintain the belt taut when the belt is guided through their respective lateral channels.

Claim (Index 22):
A printing system as claimed in  claim 20 , wherein the formations on a first lateral edge differ from the formations on the second lateral edge by being configured for providing the elasticity desired to maintain the belt taut when the belt is guided through their respective lateral channels.
