Description

ABSTRACT:
A toner image is fixed to a receiving sheet by positioning the image between the receiving sheet and a hard surface of a web or sheet. Pressure is applied between the surfaces to fix the toner image to the receiving sheet with the toner image above its glass transition temperature. While the surfaces are still in contact, a heat sink member is brought into contact with one of the sheets or web to remove heat from the toner image and reduce the temperature of the toner image below its glass transition temperature allowing the receiving sheet to be separated from the hard surface without offset.
