Abstract
This is a process to restore compression set properties of a silicone rubber fuser structure that has been damaged during the coating of the silicone with Teflon; Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont. This restoration is achieved by re-baking the coated fuser roll at temperatures of 175° C. to 275° C. This will improve the compression set and will give the fuser structure improved life and provide better image quality.
