Brush for applying release agent to intermediate transfer member
 A method and apparatus for maintaining high surface gloss and toner particle release properties of an intermediate transfer member for an electrostatographic printing machine. The apparatus includes a buffing brush in which the fibers of the brush act to smooth out the intermediate transfer member surface to maintain high gloss. The fibers may also themselves be capable of breaking down to apply a thin film coating of release agents, or alternatively, the buffing brush may include liquid or solid release agents that are applied as a thin film coating by the buffing brush.
