  • Patent number: 7120380
    Abstract: An electrostatographic reproduction apparatus includes: a primary imaging member for producing an electrostatic latent image on a receiver, a development station for applying toner particles to the latent image to form a developed toner image on the receiver, a fuser assembly for fixing the developed toner image to form a fused toner image on the receiver, and a transport member for transporting the receiver to or from the fuser assembly. The transport member includes a substrate and an oil-absorbing layer that contains inorganic particles dispersed in an organic binder and is capable of absorbing release oil applied to the receiver bearing the fused toner image.

  • Publication number: 20050188893
    Abstract: A separating agent, in particular silicon oil, applied to the surface of a fuser mechanism, preferably in an electrophotographic printing machine. Contamination of the surfaces of the printing media is substantially prevented or reduced when the separating agent is diluted with at least one solvent with a boiling point equal to or greater than 60° C., preferably equal to or greater than 100° C., but below 160° C.

  • Publication number: 20020131805
    Abstract: A paper store in a printing machine. Printing material, in particular paper, can become wavy and deform as a result of the action of changing temperatures and, in particular, high atmospheric humidity. This causes paper blockages in the printing machine and impairs the printed result. This problem occurs, in particular in the paper store, since here paper sheets are sometimes stored for a relatively long time outside their packaging. Therefore, a paper store is provided, which always preserves printing material without impairing its condition, being enclosed in a substantially airtight manner.
