A flexible electrostatographic imaging belt comprising a support layer, a coating including a film forming polymer, and a permanent skewed seam The electrostatographic imaging belt may be fabricated by providing a sheet having a parallelogram shape with slanted ends, the sheet having a first malor exterior surface opposite and parallel to a second major exterior surface, overlapping an edge (12) of the first major exterior surface adjacent a first of the slanted ends onto an edge (14) of the second major exterior surface of adjacent a second slanted of the ends to form a skewed seam, and securing the ends to each other to form a permanent skewed seam. This skewed seam electrostatographic imaging belt may be used in an electrostatographic imaging process. <IMAGE> |
