A fuser member is described wherein the fuser member includes a core, a cushion comprising a first layer adjacent to the core and a second layer on top of the first layer, and a plastic sleeve. Also described is a process for producing a fuser member, which includes applying a first layer of cushioning composition on a core, applying a second layer of cushioning composition on the first layer of the cushioning composition, and applying a plastic sleeve on the second layer of the cushioning composition.

Sleeved fuser member

Photoconductive compositions having both high-speed and high-resolution are disclosed. The composition comprises a film forming electrically insulating polymer and a dye in the form of a dye-dye complex, having a structure according to the formula ##STR1## wherein X.crclbar. represents an anion; the dye has an absorption spectrum which changes when a binderless coating of the dye is treated with solvent vapors, and the composition containing the dye-dye complex has an absorption spectrum which is similar to the changed absorption spectrum of the dye when treated with solvent vapors.

Photoconductive compositions

Infrared sensitive heterogeneous photoconductive composition, elements and imaging method is presented. The composition comprises a continuous phase of a film-forming electrically insulating polymer having dispersed therein a plurality of crystalline particles consisting of an electrically insulating polymer and a trimethine thiopyrylium dye conforming to the general formula: ##STR1## wherein: X is sulfur or selenium and A.crclbar. is an anion.
