Abstract
A duplex fusing system has a pressure roller which includes a compliant surface which evenly distributes contact pressures to reduce displacement of a previously fused image. The compliant layer conforms to the surface of a substrate sheet and toner on that surface, thereby ensuring that the toner does not migrate when the toner is reheated to a liquid state.
