ABSTRACT:
A process for fusing a toner image to a substrate includes applying to a fuser member a replenishable layer containing a controlled amount of a wicking agent; the fuser member surface sites reactive to binding with Si--H functional groups included in an organopolysiloxane. The wicking agent have an organopolysiloxane having Si--H functional groups and at least about 1.times.10.sup.-6 weight percent of a metal compound that is effective for promoting reaction between the reactive sites on the fuser member surface and the Si--H functional groups of the organopolysiloxane. The toner image is contacted with a substrate at a temperature sufficient to fuse the toner image to the substrate.
