Abstract
A radiant glossing apparatus and method for glossing developer sheets having a thermoplastic developer resin on a surface includes a continuous heated support belt for the sheet. The belt carries the sheets under a source of radiant energy in the form of a quartz lamp and reflector which direct the energy downwardly onto the belt-supported sheets. The belt is heated by passing over an arched heated plate. A layer of friction material on the place imparts an electrostatic charge to the belt which assists in holding the sheets against the belt.
