The Black Hole of Graft: The Predatory State and the Informal Economy

Cleaning apparatus for a dry heated pressure fusing system comprising a roll including a rigid core member covered with a sleeve made of a polyester polymer material. The roll is movable into pressure contact with the heated fuser roll during the fusing operation. Upon raising the temperature of the polyester polymer material toner and other contaminants are physically removed from the fuser roll surface and do not retransfer. An alternative embodiment calls for a soft deformable blanket to be positioned intermediate the core member and sleeve.
