Abstract

A toner image is transferred to a heat softened first thermoplastic outer layer of a receiving sheet, which receiving sheet also has a second thermoplastic layer on its backside. The second layer has a higher heat softening point than the first layer. Transfer is effected by securing the receiving sheet to a roller having a metal surface in contact with the second layer and bringing the first layer into pressure contact with an image bearing member while heating the roller from within to a temperature sufficient to soften the first layer and the toner but not sufficient to cause release of the second layer onto the roller.
