Abstract
A toner bearing thermoplastic layer on a receiving sheet is textured or the gloss is improved by heating the thermoplastic layer from the rear to its glass transition temperature and contacting said sheet with a texturizing surface under sufficient pressure to texturize the layer. Offset of the thermoplastitc onto the pressure member contacting it is inhibited by not independently heating that member substantially above the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic layer.
