Patent ID: 7006782

Claim:
A fusing station for fusing a toner image to a receiver, the fusing station comprising: a) a fuser roller having a hardness from about 50 to about 80 Shore A, an outer diameter, and an outside coating comprising a low damping fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer fuser roller coating formulation, the formulation having a tan delta from about 0.01 to about 0.15 and comprising: a fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer containing from about 5 to about 20 parts per hundred, based upon the weight of the copolymer of an aminosiloxane and from about 1.5 to about 2.5 parts per hundred based upon the weight of the copolymer of a curing agent having a bisphenol residue; and b) a pressure roller having a smaller outer diameter than the outer diameter of the fuser roller and positioned in pressure contact with the fuser roller to form a fusing nip between the pressure roller and the fuser roller having a width from about 18 to about 22 millimeters, the pressure roller having a hardness from about 25 to about 33 Shore A and having an outside coating comprising the copolymer formulation.
