Provided herein is a topcoat composition comprising at least one fluorosilicone, a hydride-functional crosslinking agent, an infrared-absorbing filler, and at least one dispersant that is non-reactive with the hydride-functional crosslinking agent, by weight based on a total weight of the topcoat composition, wherein the topcoat composition has a degree of crosslinking between about 10 micrograms/hour/milligrams to about 20 micrograms/hour/milligrams. Further provided herein are methods of making the topcoat composition, as well as an imaging blanket and methods of reducing coating defects on a media coated using the imaging member.

Topcoat composition of imaging blanket with improved properties

Disclosed herein is a release fluid, a fuser member and an image forming apparatus. The release fluid is a blend an amino functional silicone fluid and a non-functional silicone fluid. The amount of the amino functional silicone fluid is from about 10 weight percent to about 90 weight percent of the release fluid. The amount of the non-functional silicone fluid is from about 10 weight percent to about 90 weight percent of the release fluid. The amount of silanol (Si&#x2014;OH) is less than 200 ppm in the release fluid.

Release fluid composition

There is described a printing method, an image apparatus and a print. A release fluid is provided for use in the printing method, imaging apparatus and print. The release fluid is a blend an amino functional silicone fluid and a non-functional silicone fluid. The amount of the amino functional silicone fluid is from about 10 weight percent to about 90 weight percent of the release fluid. The amount of the non-functional silicone fluid is from about 10 weight percent to about 90 weight percent of the release fluid. The amount of silanol (Si&#x2014;OH) is less than 200 ppm in the release fluid.

Amorphous polyester resins and processes for making the same are disclosed herein. In particular, the process for making the resin provides resins with improved properties. The amorphous polyester resins have substantially reduced free fumaric acid as compared to that made from conventional processes. The toner resins are used to prepare toner compositions the have improved performance.

A transfer assist member comprising a plurality of layers, one of the layers being a check film layer comprised of a crosslinked mixture of urea-glyoxal resins, and polyester polyols present on a support polymer layer.

Transfer assist members

A process for producing a fuser member coating including a) adding and reacting a fluoroelastomer, a crosslinking agent, a polar solvent, and a fluorinated copolymer surfactant to form a coating solution, and b) providing said coating solution on said fuser member to form a fuser member coating, wherein said fluorinated copolymer surfactant comprises a fluorinated acrylate copolymer having pendant fluorinated alkyl groups.

A fuser debris inhibiting system and apparatus using an impregnated cleaning web. This web is impregnated with materials of: succinic acid, DPTA, HEDTA, NTA, DMSA or their salts. The web can contact the fuser member directly or can contact external heat rolls which in turn contact the fuser roll. The delivery of these materials to the surface of the fuser member substantially inhibits the formation of contaminants thereon.
