Estimating the term…
The present invention is such that in a recording apparatus comprising a toner image carrier and an intermediate image transfer material which receives the toner image transferred from the image carrier and then transfers the toner image onto the subsequent transfer sheet material (recording sheet), and an image transfer section for transferring the toner image onto the moving transfer sheet material comprising a transfer roller and pressure roller pressing thereon, the recording apparatus has the following pre-heating means comprising a heat member and a pressing member which is located at a position prior to the transfer section and which, brings the subsequent transfer sheet material into close contact with or presses the subsequent transfer sheet material against the periphery of the pressure roller, the member being provided at least on its side facing the transfer sheet material with a heat-resistant, elastically deformable porous material.
In a recording apparatus including a toner image carrier, an intermediate image transfer member onto which is transferred said toner image on said toner image carrier and which further transfers said toner image onto a subsequent transfer material, and an image transfer section for transferring said toner image onto said subsequent material, said section comprising a transfer roller and a pressure roller pressing on said transfer roller, said recording apparatus comprising a pre-heating means for pre-heating said subsequent transfer material at a position prior to said image transfer section, said pre-heating means comprising a heat member and a pressing member which brings said subsequent transfer material into contact with said heat member, wherein at least one side of said pressing member facing said subsequent transfer material comprises a heat-resistant, elastically deformable porous material.
