Soft pressure roller composition for fusing system

A pressure roller comprising:

• a core and a base, wherein the base is defined by a layer of LIM silicone elastomer having an inside diameter and an outside diameter, wherein the layer of LIM silicone includes a softness of between 15 and 35 Asker C, and wherein the distance between the inside diameter and the outside diameter is between 2 mm and 10 mm;
• a top coat disposed about the entire outside diameter of the base, wherein the top coat is fabricated of a polymer having abrasion resistance and surface release properties with a softness between 17 and 40 Asker C.
