Abstract

A method of treating a fuser member surface to extend the life thereof includes applying to the fuser member surface an ethylene diamine tetraacetate. In addition, the fuser member may be subjected to a sonic treatment during the application of the ethylene diamine traacetrate in order to remove additional materials therefrom that are resistant to removal by the ethylene diamine traacetate.
