Buffered transfuse printing system

摘要

Toner image forming stations (22-28) form toner images that are electrostatically transferred to an intermediate transfer member (12). The composite toner image is transferred to a transfuse member (50) at a second transfer nip (42,74). The temperature of the transfuse member (50) in the second transfer nip is above the glass transition temperature of the toner image. The toner image is generally transferred and fused to a substrate (70) in a third transfer nip (84, 86).
