  • Patent number: 7239826
    Abstract: A process for renewing an outer surface of a used fuser roller by removing debris particles from the surface including contacting the outer surface with a first finishing paper while simultaneously rotating the used fuser roller so that the first finishing paper completes a first superfinishing of the outer layer; b) optionally contacting the outer surface with a second finishing paper while simultaneously rotating the used fuser roller so that the second finishing paper completes a second superfinishing of the outer layer; c) optionally contacting the outer surface with a third finishing paper while simultaneously rotating the used fuser roller so that the third finishing paper completes a third superfinishing of the outer layer; and d) repeating a) until obtaining a first measured gloss value of from about 10 to about 50 GGU, optionally repeating b) until obtaining a second measured gloss value of from about 30 to about 70 GGU, and optionally repeating c) until obtaining a third measured gloss value of from
