A control apparatus for controlling an image forming system is provided. The image forming system includes transparent toner image forming device configured to form a transparent toner image on a sheet on which a color toner image has been fixed and includes fixing device configured to fix the transparent toner image formed on the sheet. The control apparatus includes an obtaining means for obtaining information of a first part of a color toner image area on which transparent toner is to be applied with a first amount per unit area after the color toner image is fixed, and a control means for controlling the transparent toner image forming device to apply the transparent toner, with a second amount per unit area, on a second part of the color toner image area which is the color toner image area excluding the first part, after the color toner image is fixed. The second amount is smaller than the first amount.

A bubbly fluid producing method to produce a bubbly fluid containing a bubble with a desired bubble diameter is disclosed, which comprises a step of applying a shear to a bubbly fluid containing a bubble with a bubble diameter larger than a desired bubble diameter so as to produce a bubbly fluid containing a bubble with a desired bubble diameter. Also, a bubbly fluid producing device configured to produce a bubbly fluid containing a bubble with a desired bubble diameter is disclosed, which comprises a first member (40b) configured to apply a shear to a bubbly fluid containing a bubble with a bubble diameter larger than a desired bubble diameter so as to produce a bubbly fluid containing a bubble with a desired bubble diameter.
摘要:
A separating agent, in particular silicon oil, applied to the surface of a fuser mechanism, preferably in an electrophotographic printing machine. Contamination of the surfaces of the printing media is substantially prevented or reduced when the separating agent is diluted with at least one solvent with a boiling point equal to or greater than 60° C., preferably equal to or greater than 100° C., but below 160° C.

Provided is a release agent composition useful in an electrophotographic process. The composition is comprised of certain heat-stable grafted silicone interpolymers. The interpolymers have a melting point such that it is in the form of a liquid on a hot fuser roll, but solidifies to a waxy solid at room temperature. The compositions of the invention were found to reduce transparency streaking in wiper pad systems, and when used in felt roll applications, were found to be equal to silicone oil in transmission ratio and transparency streaking. Accordingly, the release agent compositions are especially efficacious in duplex and transparency printing. The release agent compositions of the present invention also exhibit superior release performance and facilitate clean release of toner from fuser rolls in an electrophotographic imaging process.
摘要:
A fixing device for an image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a fixing member (1). A coating member (4) is rotatable in contact with the fixing member by following the rotation of the fixing member for thereby coating a parting agent on the fixing member. A feeding member (5) is rotatable in contact with the coating member by following the rotation of the coating member for thereby feeding the parting agent to the coating member. A holding member (7) holds the parting agent and is held in sliding contact with the feeding member to thereby deposit the parting agent on the feeding member. When the fixing member (1) is rotated in a direction opposite to a direction assigned to fixing while causing the coating member to rotate, a rotation limiting member prevents the feeding member from rotating by following the rotation of the coating member.
摘要:
A cleaning element (1) for use in the fuser section of electrostatographic reproduction or printing apparatus. The element includes projections projecting from an outer surface to form a pile (5). The cross section of each projection has a cross section having a peripheral dimension and an area. The ratio of the peripheral dimension and area is greater than the same ratio for a projection of circular or substantially circular and equal area of cross section. The projections may be formed by tri-lobal fibres.

摘要:
Apparatus for applying a release agent to a fuser roll (52) is constructed having a web material (62) impregnated with the release agent. A supply reel (60) is rotatably mounted in a housing and contains a roll of web material for dispensing into the system. The web material is extended across the fuser roll to a take-up reel. An application roller (64) is positioned adjacent to the fuser roll on the opposite side of the web path and is biased against the web material to provide a force to insure engagement between the web and the fuser roll. The supply reel is driven to dispense the web material in a direction consistent with the tangential direction of the surface of the fuser roll.
