Electrostatographic fusing process employing replaceable liner

Claim 1

AN IMAGING PROCESS COMPRISING: A. PROVIDING A FUSER HOUSING INCLUDING OUTER CHAMBER WALLS THE INNER SURFACE OF WHICH ARE LINED WITH A LAYERED, STRIPPABLE, HIGHLY REFLECTIVE MATERIAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF GLASS FIBERS, SILICON DIOXIDE, MAGNESIUM OXIDE, TITANIUM, DIOXIDE, CALCIUM OXIDE, ZINC OXIDE CALCIUM CARBONATE, MAGNESIUM CARBONATE, BARIUM CARBONATE, LEAD CARBONATE, AND QUARTZ WOOL, AND A HIGH INTENSITY RADIATION SOURCE SUPPORTED WITHIN THE CAVITY OF SAID HOUSING, B. DEVELOPING A TONER IMAGE ON THE SURFACE OF AN IMAGE SUPPORT MEMBER, C. INTRODUCING SAID IMAGE SUPPORT MEMBER INTO THE CAVITY OF SAID HOUSING AND EXPOSING SAID TONER IMAGE TO SAID HIGH INTENSITY RADIATION SOURCE TO FUSE SAID IMAGE, AND D. REPEATING STEPS (B) AND (C) UNTIL THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL BECOMES CONTAMINATED AND ITS REFLECTANCE BECOMES SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED, AT WHICH TIME SAID CONTAMINATED LAYERED, STRIPPABLE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL IS PEELED FROM AN UNDERLYING LAYER TO EXPOSE A FRESH UNCONTAMINATED LAYER OF THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL THEREBY MAINTAINING CAVITY EFFICIENCY.
