Patent ID: 8744334

Claim:
An electrostatographic reproduction apparatus comprising: a primary imaging member for producing an electrostatic latent image; a development station for applying toner particles to said latent image, thereby forming a developed toner image; a transfer station for transferring said developed toner image from the primary imaging member to a receiver; a fuser assembly for fixing said developed toner image to said receiver, thereby forming a fused toner image on said receiver; an endless transport member for transporting said receiver to or from said fuser assembly, said transport member comprising a substrate bearing an oil-absorbing porous layer that would tribocharge positively upon contact with negatively charged toner particles, and a porous overcoat outermost layer that does not tribocharge positively upon contact with negatively charged toner particles; wherein the porous overcoat outermost layer comprises silica particles and a binder of polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl butyral in a weight ratio of from about 5:1 to about 20:1; and has a dried thickness of 0.25 to 10 micrometers that allows for silicone oil absorption with a value of 200 to 600 mg/m 2 /μm,
