Heat Rollers are always better/ u just need to follow the machines standards for copying/printing . go over that and u will have issues with both.

I had my doubts in the beginning. How could that thin film hold up as well as a teflon coated roller? Well, to my surprise, they do seem to hold up well. The fixing film is less tolerant of pressure roller wear, bearing wear, requires the right lubrication....

I remember when the Canon first put a film fuser in a 16 cpm analog copier, the NP-6016. We had all kinds of trouble with toner buildup on the film surface. Some of that could have had something to do with the "Copy Technologies" crappy aftermarket toner in use at the time. =^..^=

There both good.

That's my opinion.

Film units - volume wise will never go as long as rollers...but they are both good technologies.Just made for different volume and speed applications. The instant on of film is nice (canon's R.A.P.I.D. fixing technology) but the newer fusers with inductive coil heating warm up very quickly also.

I prefer heat rollers. However customers have become accustomed to having their copier ready almost instantly, even the higher page per minute machines. It would be tough to get them to accept 5-8 minute warmups again.

Fuser films virtually eliminate the nasty issues you get from using crappy aftermarket fuser rollers, which some dealers insist on using.

If the fixing unit itself has no flaws, I got to lean toward the film. It kills me to say it, because like others, I remember the tracking problems,nightmare replacement,etc, of the early models. The new stuff...easy to install,and lasts.

I find that if you replace the metal cleaner roller before its spec'd life, fixing films seem to last a long time 250-300K

Now if I could just beat this point into the thick skulls of some of my tech's. With a heatsink roller preferably.
