Phase change ink transfix pressure component with single 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 drum for accepting the phase change ink image from the phase change ink component, and transferring the phase change ink image from the imaging drum to the print medium, and
• c) a transfix pressure member positioned in association with the imaging drum, wherein the print medium passes through a nip formed between the imaging drum and the transfix pressure member, and wherein the imaging drum exerts pressure on the transfix pressure member so as to transfer and fuse the phase change ink image from the imaging drum to the print medium, and further wherein the transfix pressure member comprises:
• i) a substrate;
• ii) an outer layer comprising a polyurethane material and positioned on the substrate and having a modulus of from about 8 to about 300 MPa, and a thickness of from about 0.3 to about 10 mm, and wherein the pressure exerted at the nip is from about 750 to about 4,000 psi, and wherein said outer layer comprises a convex crown.
