This invention relates to an improved fusing station for fusing a toner image
to a receiver when the fusing station includes a fuser roller having a hardness
from about 50 to about 80 Shore A and an outside coating comprising a low damping
fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer roller coating formulation having a
tan delta from about 0.01 to about 0.15 and containing from about 1.5 to about
2.5 parts per hundred (pph), based upon the weight of the copolymer of a curing
agent having a bisphenol residue and a pressure roller having a smaller outer diameter
than 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. A method
is also provided for fusing toner images to receiver sheets using the fusing station.
