An oil-free process for forming a fused toner image on a receiver comprises: forming on a receiver an image comprising toner particles that contain a non-crosslinked linear polymeric binder, a colorant, and a release agent; and contacting the receiver bearing the toner particle image with a fuser member comprising a support and a release layer overlying the support. The release layer comprises a cured fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer, a particulate filler comprising zinc oxide and tin oxide and a cured aminosiloxane copolymer, the cured fluorocarbon thermoplastics random copolymer containing —(CH2CF2)x—, —(CF2CF(CF3)y—, and —(CF2CF2)z— subunits, wherein x is from 1 to 40 or 60 to 80 mole percent, y is from 10 to 90 mole percent, z is from 10 to 90 mole percent, and x+y+z equals 100 mole percent. The receiver in contact with the fuser member is subjected to conditions effective in the absence of a release oil for fixing the toner particle image to the receiver.
