An electrostatographic reproduction apparatus includes: a primary imaging
member for producing an electrostatic latent image on a receiver, a
development station for applying toner particles to the latent image to
form a developed toner image on the receiver, a fuser assembly for fixing
the developed toner image to form a fused toner image on the receiver,
and a transport member for transporting the receiver to or from the fuser
assembly. The transport member includes a substrate and an oil-absorbing
layer that contains inorganic particles dispersed in an organic binder
and is capable of absorbing release oil applied to the receiver bearing
the fused toner image.
