Abstract (en)
Imaging apparatus, utilizing a liquid developer comprising toner particles and a carrier liquid to produce a developed image, transfer it to a final substrate (100) and fuse and fix the image thereon comprising: a first member (68) having a first contact surface (71) including a silicone material operative to contact the developed image on the final substrate (100) a backing member (70) having a second contact surface, a portion of said second contact surface defining a nip with a portion of said first contact surface wherethrough the final substrate (100) passes a heat source (69) for elevating the temperature of the developed image so as to cause fixing and fusing of the developed image to the final substrate (100) as it passes through the nip and a spring (84) for applying a force through said nip thereby to assist said fusing and fixing of said developed image onto said substrate as it passes between said first and second movable surfaces.
