摘要:
There is provided a toner comprising at least a binding resin and a coloring agent. The toner has a specified particle size distribution and circularity distribution which give rise to less waste toner with high transferring efficiency. There are also provided an image forming process and an apparatus unit which use the toner.
摘要:
Coarsely crushed toner particles comprising at least a binder resin and a colorant are effectively pulverized by a mechanical pulverizer including a generally cylindrical rotor rotating about an axis and a stator surrounding the rotor with a minute gap from the rotor. Each of the outer wall of the rotor and the inner wall of the stator is provided with a plurality of grooves which extend generally in parallel with the rotation axis of the rotor and are formed of a wave-shaped plurality of projections and intervening recesses. Each recess on at least one of the rotor and the stator is provided with a flatshaped bottom between a forward corner and a rear corner adjacent a forward slope and a rear slope respectively, with respect to the rotation direction. One corner (rear corner on the rotor or forward corner on the stator) of the two corners receiving an intense flow of the pulverized feed together with conveying air is provided with a dull angle between the adjacent slope and the flat-bottomed surface for effective pulverization.

摘要:
A toner has toner particles containing at least a binder resin, a colorant and a sulfur-containing compound selected from the group consisting of a sulfur-containing polymer and a sulfur-containing copolymer. The toner has a weight-average particle diameter of from 5 µm to 12 µm, and the toner has, in its particles of 3 µm or larger in diameter, at least 90% by number of particles with a circularity of 0.900 or higher, and has a specific relationship between the cut rate Z and the toner weight-average particle diameter X and a specific relationship between the number-based cumulative value Y of particles with a circularity of 0.950 or higher and the toner weight-average particle diameter X. Also disclosed are an image-forming method and a process cartridge which make use of the toner.

摘要:
A process for producing a toner with which toner particles can be highly conglobated, a toner that hardly causes fogging in an image, and an yield of toner is increased is provided. A process for producing a toner of the present invention comprises the step of simultaneously performing a surface modification and classification of particles by using a batch-wise surface modification apparatus, in which when a straight line extending from a central position S1 of a loading pipe in a direction of loading a raw material is denoted by L1 and a straight line extending from a central position O1 of the fine powder discharging pipe in a direction of discharging fine powder and ultra-fine powder is denoted by L2, an angle θ formed between the lines L1 and L2 is in a range of 210 to 330° with reference to the direction in which a classification rotor rotates.
