In a fuser for xerographic printing, stripper fingers (30) remove the print sheet from a fuser roll (10). Each stripper finger is a thin member which is urged against the fuser roll with a spring force (FF) caused by deformation of the stripper finger against the roll. Each stripper finger is mounted on a mount (32) which is itself springably urged against a stop (34), so that the spring force (FF) of the stripper finger is largely independent of the spring force (FM) associated with the mount. The arrangement enables design latitude in choosing spring forces associated with the stripper finger and the mount, and also enables the stripper fingers to be moved away from damaging contact with a mis-stripped sheet.
