Slipless drive image reproduction system

The present invention is related to slipless drive image reproduction systems, such as printers and copiers, having one or more intermediate transfer members between the image-forming member and the receptor material. In operation, images are formed on the image-forming member and transferred via the intermediate transfer member to a face of the receptor material. These subsequent transfers are executed in transfer contact zones where the respective image-carrying members contact each other. The respective image-carrying members are coupled and driven such that the losses created in the transfer contact zones are shared over the respective drive device.
