Abstract (en)

A printing apparatus has a photoreceptor (22,24,26,28) for forming a toner image. An intermediate transfer member (12) defines a first transfer nip (42) with photoreceptor (22,24,26,28) and has an image area for receiving the toner image. A transfuse member (50) defines a second transfer nip (48) with the intermediate transfer member (12). A fuser roll (84) forms a third transfer nip with the transfuse member (50) for generally simultaneous transfer and fusion of the toner image to a substrate (70). A release agent applicator (189,290) applies a release agent to the transfuse member (50), and a cleaning station (54) engages the intermediate member (12) for cleaning release agent from the intermediate transfer member (12). <IMAGE>
