PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide high pressure fusing and/or leveling apparatus, systems and methods that reduce offset of marking material caused by electrostatic charge.SOLUTION: A fusing apparatus includes a fusing roll and a backing roll that define a nip, at which toner is applied to marking material and fixed to paper under high pressure. A surface of the fusing roll includes a semi-conductive metal-oxide surface. Grounded conductive guides are arranged at the entrance and at the exit of the nip defined by the fusing roll and the backing roll. |
