2nd BTR area

when purchasing our Versant 2100, Xerox was proud of the increased fusing area, saying it led to improved image quality. Wouldn't a larger 2nd BTR also be an improvement, or would that just cause more chance for squirm?

What do they mean when they say increased fusing area? The nip width?

The fact they use a fusing belt rather than a roller.

We have replaced at least 4 or 5 second btr on the Versant 80. I don't remember that being much of an issue on the C75. On the C75 we had mostly developer housing issues.

Since all your doing is transferring toner to the sheet at that point I don't see what improvement a larger diameter 2nd BTR would make. Probably the biggest issue with transferring toner is humidity that is not in the 30% to 60% range, or the secondary voltage transfer is not being adjusted to compensate for humidity changes.

Only thing I can think of is that it could reduce the amount of tail edge image smearing on thick substrates.

Have they put the TAG13 kit on yours. The flywheel. Helps a lot with trail edge also.

No longer operating the CP but when we did they had the flywheel on it which helped a lot.
