Process for minimizing image de-enhancement in flash fusing systems
 A process for the fusing of xerographic images comprising: (1) creating a xerographic latent image; (2) developing the image with a toner composition comprising a mixture of toner particles and colloidal silica particles; (3) transferring the developed image to a substrate; and (4) subsequently fixing the developed image to the substrate with a flash fusing device by applying an energy pulse therefrom of from about 2 to about 5 milliseconds. The process is useful for enabling image de-enhancement when the fusing energy is applied over a period of from about 2 to about 5 milliseconds.
