Abstract

A fusing belt for thermoplastic electrostatographic toner comprises a seamless polyimide resin belt having an intermediate layer of a highly crosslinked silicone resin, which preferably contains a surfactant, and a surface layer of a silsesquioxane polymer, which also preferably contains a surfactant. The belt produces fused toner images of high gloss and has good release properties without the use of a release oil.
