A reproduction apparatus providing for selectable image quality and gloss. The reproduction apparatus as disclosed includes a dielectric member adapted to have latent images formed thereon. A development station for the reproduction apparatus includes a plurality of developer units respectively containing marking particles of different colors, at least one developer unit containing black marking particles and another developer unit containing clear marking particles, for selectively developing latent images on the dielectric member with marking particles from the developer units respectively. The developed marking particle images are transferred by a transfer station from said dielectric member to a receiver member. A fuser assembly includes a first fusing device for fusing a marking particle image on a receiver member so as to produce a low gloss image on the receiver member, and a second fusing device for fusing a marking particle image on a receiver member so as to produce a high gloss image on the receiver member. A transport, in juxtaposition with the transfer station, selectively communicates with the first fusing device or the second fusing device. A control selectively activates the developer unit for applying clear marking particles to a receiver member, and the transport to deliver a receiver member from said transfer station to said first or second fusing device dependent upon the desired quality and gloss of an image fused on a receiver member.
