See full text

A method for controlled installation of a brush filament population on a shaft for making a toner adder brush roller includes applying a layer of adhesive over a surface of a roller shaft, applying a template over at least a portion of the shaft surface, and flocking a multiplicity of filaments on the shaft surface to provide a brush on the roller shaft having a filament population controlled by the application of the template. The method also includes removing the template from the shaft surface after flocking the multiplicity of filaments such that a set of filaments less than the multiplicity of filaments is removed with the template. The method further includes flocking additional filaments on the portion of the shaft surface after removing the template from the portion of the shaft surface, the additional filaments differs from said previously flocked filaments in one of material, length, denier, or combinations of the foregoing.
