Abstract
Method and apparatus for thermal transfer overcoat technology. Throughput conditions are anticipated. Multi-stage preheating of the fuser is performed such that active heating during thermal transfer overcoat is eliminated. Thermal waves create an accumulated fuser heat that is a sufficient energy to maintain a substantially constant fuser temperature needed for one whole thermal transfer overcoat cycle.
