In a printing system (100), a first member (102) moves past an imaging station where it receives a dry toner image (200) and contacts a second member (104) to transfer the toner image (200) to the second member (104). The first and second members (102, 104) are each operated isothermally with at least the second member (104) at a temperature T2 higher than the softening temperature of the toner which, in turn, is above the temperature T1 of the first member (102). The first member (102) has a hard abrasion-resistant and preferably smooth surface (102b) with a surface energy under about 20 dynes per centimeter, while the second member (104) is both softer and has a higher surface energy, but still below that of a substrate (107), e.g., paper, and has a thickness and compressibility that allows it to conform.
