Abstract:
An image forming apparatus for forming images on a recording medium comprising:a) a charge-retentive surface to receive an electrostatic latent image thereon; b) a development component to apply a developer material to said charge-retentive surface to develop said electrostatic latent image to form a developed image on said charge-retentive surface; c) a transfer component for transferring said developed image from said charge-retentive surface to an intermediate transfer component; d) an intermediate transfer component for receiving said developed image from said transfer component and transferring said developed image to a transfix component; and e) a transfix component to transfer the developed image from said intermediate transfer component to a copy substrate and to fix said developed image to said copy substrate, said transfix component comprising: i) a transfix substrate, and thereover ii) an outer coating comprising a haloelastomer consisting essentially of the reaction product monomers selected from the group consisting of halogenated monomers, polyorganosiloxane monomers, and mixtures thereof, and iii) a heating member associated with said transfix substrate.
