Electrostatographic apparatus having improved transport member

An electrostatographic reproduction apparatus comprising:

• a primary imaging member for producing an electrostatic latent image;
• a development station for applying toner particles to said latent image, thereby forming a developed toner image;
• a transfer station for transferring said developed toner image from the primary imaging member to a receiver;
• a fuser assembly for fixing said developed toner image to said receiver, thereby forming a fused toner image on said receiver;
• an endless transport member for transporting said receiver to or from said fuser assembly, said transport member comprising a substrate bearing an oil-absorbing porous layer that would tribocharge positively upon contact with negatively charged toner particles, and a porous overcoat outermost layer that does not tribocharge positively upon contact with negatively charged toner particles;
• wherein the porous overcoat outermost layer comprises silica particles and a binder of polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl butyral in a weight ratio of from about 5:1 to about 20:1;
• and has a dried thickness of 0.25 to 10 micrometers that allows for silicone oil absorption with a value of 200 to 600 mg/m2/μm,
