This is a process to restore compression set properties of a silicone
rubber fuser structure that has been damaged during the coating of the
silicone with Teflon; Teflon is a registered trademark of DuPont. This
restoration is achieved by re-baking the coated fuser roll at
temperatures of 175.degree. C. to 275.degree. C. This will improve the
compression set and will give the fuser structure improved life and
provide better image quality.
