Abstract
A toner image is carried on a receiving sheet which receiving sheet includes a heat softenable outer layer. The image is fixed or finished by being fed between a pair of pressure members. The pressure members either embed the toner in the layer or apply a gloss or texture to the heat softenable layer. To eliminate an image defect at the leading edge of the sheet, coating of the sheet with the heat softenable layer is terminated one-eighth of an inch prior to the edge of the sheet.
