A method is provided for increasing the release temperature from the fuser in copying and printing processes comprising the steps of forming a toner layer on a receiver with an imagewise overlay toner on top and fixing the layers of toner by contact with a fuser.

Electrostatographic method using an overlay toner

A fuser belt comprising an amorphous fluoropolymer outer layer for fusing a thermoplastic resin toner image to a substrate produces high gloss images, wherein the amorphous fluoropolymer has the structure: ##STR1## in which m is 20 mole percent or 35 mole percent and n is 65 mole percent or 80 mole percent.

Amorphous fluoropolymer coated fusing belt

A fuser member for fusing a thermoplastic resin toner image to a substrate having:

Amorphous fluoropolymer coated fusing member

A method of making a fuser member such as a fuser roller, pressure roller, or fuser belt, comprising of bonding an outermost fluoropolymer resin layer to an inner fluoroelastomer layer by means of a fluoropolymer-containing polyamide-imide primer layer.

Coated fuser members and methods of making coated fuser members

A process for controlling gloss to fused toner images, comprising the steps of: A. passing an element bearing an unfused toner image through a fusing zone, a cooling zone and a release zone; and B. bringing the element bearing the unfused toner image into pressure contact with a fusing belt, thereby fusing the toner image to the element; characterized in that the fusing belt is a metal having

Process for controlling gloss in electrostatic images

This invention provides a fuser belt comprising a substrate and a coating on said substrate, said coating comprises a resin made by curing a composition comprising siloxanes having a ratio of difunctional to trifunctional units of 1:1 to 1:2.7 and at least 90% of total number of functional units in said siloxanes are difunctional and trifunctional units, a weight average molecular weight of 5,000 to 50,000 grams/mole, and an alkyl to aryl ratio of 1:0.1 to 1:1.2.

Fuser belts with improved release and gloss

A fuser for fixing electrostatographic images comprising a fusing roll and a pressure roll is disclosed. The pressure roll has a rigid metal core coated with an amorphous fluoropolymer. The fluoropolymer has a surface energy up to 16 dyne/cm and a coefficient of friction from 0.4 to 1.0.
