Toner image transfer apparatus including intermediate transfer medium

摘要

An imaging apparatus including a transferring device for transferring a toner image from an image-forming medium to a receiving material, comprising an endless movable intermediate provided with a top layer which in a first transfer zone is in contact with the image-forming medium, heater for heating the toner image on the top layer of the intermediate, a pressure applying roller which in a second transfer zone can be brought into contact with the intermediate, a transport roller for transporting the receiving material through the second transfer zone, wherein removal of impurities transferred by receiving materials to the top layer of the intermediate is realized by absorption of the impurities by an impurity-absorbent material within the intermediate.
