We have been hearing that there have been problems with Canon's IR 5570 fusers not running anywhere near manufacturers life expectancy. Any one hear or experience anything like this with these fusers?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!". -
Have a few of these out and they seem to get close to life but you have to replace the lower roller and bearings at the same time.Have seen where some people are using something to fuse the bearing to the roller and getting better results.Sorry i cant e of better help. -
The best thing you can do is to reduce the fusing pressure by backing off on the pressure adjustment screws. I typically turn them back three or even four turns. This saves the lower roller and bearings while still allowing for good fusing.Comment

Adding to your forum, has anyone had offset on to the back of the paper when doing some heavier coverage on the 5570? I have tried everything with that fuser and it just don't seem to matter. If you run 20 test prints with like a canon or katun test chart the toner starts offsetting on to the lower roller then on to the back of the page. Checked multiple machines and they all did the same thing.Comment

You might take a close look at the web. I have seen them dry out sometimes, especially on machines that don't run many copies or sit for long periods of time like in a school system. Take the web and roll it up two or three feet to get to some nice oily material, that should help the cleaning of the upper roller.Comment
