摘要:
A cleaning member (8) carrying porous particles for absorbing a parting agent is used in an electrophotographic apparatus having a fixation unit in which a developer image transferred to a transfer member is fixed by a fixation rotary member to which the parting agent is applied, and means for forming an image on two surfaces of the transfer member. The cleaning member (8) is either cleaning the photosensitive drum (1) or the transfer drum (5). The porous particles present in the cleaning member (8) absorbe the parting agent, e.g. silicone oil which has been attached to the transfer sheet member during fixation after the first transfer of an image in a duplex process.
摘要:
A fixing rotatable member for use in an image forming apparatus such as a copying apparatus or a laser beam printer is disclosed. The fixing rotatable member includes a base member (200) and an elastic layer (100) provided on the surface thereof. The elastic layer is addition type silicone rubber in which resin-like polyorganosiloxane and 0.1 to 2 percent by weight of inorganic fine powder are mixed.
摘要:
The present invention provides an image forming method including the steps of: forming an electrostatic latent image on a latent image holding member; developing the electrostatic latent image by using a color toner to form a toner image; transferring the toner image onto a recording material; and fixing the toner image to the recording material by a heat fixing device comprising a fixing film for contacting the toner image on the recording material, a heating member for heating the fixing film, and a pressing member for imparting a pressure to the recording material. In the method, the color toner contains at least a binder resin, a colorant and wax, the wax having a molecular weight distribution measured by GPC, which has a ratio of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) to the number average molecular weight (Mn) of 1.45 or less, a solubility parameter (SP value) of 8.4 to 10.5, and melting point of 50 to 120°C. At least the surface of the fixing film is formed with a copolymer having at least tetrafluoroethylene as a repeating unit in a main chain of the copolymer. If the contact angles between the wax and the heating member at 100°C and 200°C are A and B, respectively, the contact angles A and B satisfy the following relations: 60° ≤ A ≤ 80° 10° ≥ B - A ≥ 3°.
