In an electrostatic copying method and apparatus, pressure fixable image powder (13) is fixed to paper (12) by a pair of cylindrical pressure rolls (3, 4). Uneven pressure between prior art metal pressure rolls that have a fine surface finish produced shiny or glossy background and images. The disclosed method and apparatus solve this problem by employing a first roll (3) having a compliant, textured-nylon surface engaging the imaged side of paper (12) and a second roll (4) having a non-compliant, textured surface, engaging the non-imaged side of paper (12). The rolls (3, 4) have skewed axes (FIG. 3) with respect to each other and contact each other when no paper is passing between them. |
