ABSTRACT:
According to various illustrative embodiments, a system and method for enhancing image permanence are described. In one aspect, the method includes applying an image to a sheet of a medium using a system including at least one photoreceptor, at least one fuser, at least one inverter, and at least one duplex path loop operatively connecting an output of the at least one fuser with an input to the at least one photoreceptor. The method also includes fusing the sheet of the medium at least twice using the at least one fuser before any other image is applied to the sheet of the medium.
