Abstract
A NFFR is disclosed which enables a NFFR fuser designed for one operating speed to be operated at a substantially greater speed while maintaining good wear and image gloss characteristics. A heated fuser roll member has a relatively thin outer layer which exhibits good wear and image gloss characteristics. The heated fuser roll member further includes an under layer contacting the outer layer which under layer is made thermally conductive. A third, thermally conductive layer is adhered to a conductive core and supports the under layer. The NFFR constructed according to the forgoing allows operation at a reduced set point temperature of 30.degree. to 40.degree. F. or in the alternative allowing for operation at a higher throughput speed at the higher set point temperature in lieu of operating at the lower set point temperature.
