PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuser system which minimizes electrostatic and triboelectric charge issues without negatively impacting the speed of an imaging apparatus.SOLUTION: A fuser system 40 includes a fuser roller 20 and a pressure roller 21. The fuser roller 20 and the pressure roller 21 create a nip 24. The fuser roller 20 has an outer layer 26 of carbon nanotubes dispersed in a fluoropolymer, where the carbon nanotubes constitute about 0.1 wt.% to about 10 wt.% of the outer layer 26. The pressure roller 21 has a static dissipative outer surface having a surface resistivity of less than about 10&OHgr;/cm. |
