Abstract;We have developed new color-fusing system "Free Belt Nip Fuser (FBNF)". This fuser uses small heat capacity fuser roll, thin belt and stationary pressure pad in it. Pressure pad forms wide nip with low pressure and high pressure at nip exit. By optimization of nip pressure profile, good fusing and good stripping performance are obtained. By introducing these technologies into the fuser, FBNF achieves short warm up time (45sec) and small power consumption at standby and low-power mode, and realizes energy-saving color fuser.
