Phase change ink transfix pressure component with three-layer configuration

An offset printing apparatus for transferring a phase change ink onto a print medium comprising:

• a) a phase change ink component for applying a phase change ink in a phase change ink image;
• b) an imaging member for accepting the phase change ink image from the phase change ink component, and transferring the phase change ink image from the imaging member to the print medium, and
• c) a transfix pressure member positioned in association with the imaging member, wherein the print medium passes through a nip formed between the imaging member and the transfix pressure member, and wherein the imaging member exerts pressure on the transfix pressure member so as to transfer and fuse the phase change ink image from the imaging member to the print medium, wherein the pressure exerted at the nip is from about 750 to about 4,000 psi, and further wherein the transfix pressure member comprises:
• i) a substrate;
• ii) an underlayer positioned thereon;
• iii) an intermediate layer positioned on said underlayer;
• and
• iv) an outer layer positioned on said intermediate layer, wherein said outer layer has a convex crown and comprises a polyurethane having a modulus of from about 1 to about 50 MPa, and a thickness of from about 0.1 to about 2 mm, and wherein the pressure exerted at the nip is from about 750 to about 4,000 psi.
