      <abstract>
        <p>Indigo's technology is based on Liquid Electro Photography (LEP). In this process an electrostatic latent image is first produced on the Photo Imaging Plate (PIP) and then ink is transferred to PIP. Afterward the ink is transferred to the intermediate transfer media, i.e. blanket
 and finally to the printing media (substrate). The electro ink is transferred mainly due to electrical fields (forces). In this process different types of polymeric coatings are used on the intermediate transfer media (blanket) and the electrical ink transfer depends strongly on these polymers
 electrical properties. In this work we present a technique for measuring electrical properties of different types of polymeric material coatings at different conditions. This unique set-up enables working under a wide range of physical parameters: temperatures, pressures, electrical voltages
 and frequencies. A theoretical study of the impedance behavior and equivalent electrical circle has been developed. The analysis shows good matching between experimental and theoretical results. This technique allows better understanding of development of new polymeric materials and determining
 process working points, especially temperature and electrical voltages.</p>
