Abstract
A transfix member with a substrate, an optional intermediate layer, and thereover an outer layer having a fluoroelastomer and polyamino polysiloxane, and a heating member associated with the transfix member.
Claims22
An apparatus for forming images on a recording medium comprising:
- a) a charge-retentive surface to receive an electrostatic latent image thereon;
- b) a development component to apply a developer material to the charge-retentive surface to develop the electrostatic latent image to form a developed image on the charge-retentive surface;
- c) a transfer component for transferring the developed image from the charge-retentive surface to an intermediate transfer component;
- d) an intermediate transfer component for receiving the developed image from the transfer component and transferring the developed image to a transfix component;
- and
- e) a transfix component to transfer the developed image from the intermediate transfer component to a copy substrate and to fix the developed image to the copy substrate, the transfix component comprising:
- i) a transfix substrate, and
- ii) an outer layer comprising a hybrid composition comprising polyamino polysiloxane and fluoroelastomer, and
- iii) a heating member associated with the transfix component.
