To separate different types of media from belts more effectively in an apparatus useful in printing.
An apparatus useful in printing includes: a first member, a fixing belt 202 including a pressure roll 240, a fixing roll 208 and inner and outer surfaces; a first nip N1 including a first inlet end IE and a first outlet end OE1; a second nip N2 having a length of less than about 8 mm between the first outlet end OE1 and a second outlet end OE2; and a stripping device 360 including a curved stripping edge 362 in contact with the inner surface of the fixing belt 202, the stripping edge being defined by a radius of less than about 10 mm, the stripping edge being spaced from the first outlet end OE1 of the first nip N1 by a distance of less than about 10 mm, and the fixing belt 202 bending at a stripping angle α of about 20° to about 30° at the stripping edge 362. Media are stripped from an outer surface of the fixing belt after exiting from the first outlet end OE1 of the first nip N1.
