摘要:
A toner that is applicable to low temperature fixing systems, excelling in both of anti-offsetting property and heat resistance storability and especially even when repeatedly used for a multiplicity of sheets over a prolonged period of time, is free from aggregation of toner particles, being minimized with respect to deterioration of fluidity, transferability and fixability, and that irrespective of the type of transfer medium, can form stable images free of transfer omission with high reproduction performance, and that does not stain the fixing apparatus and images; etc. There is provided a toner comprised of toner materials, characterized in that providing that Tma (°C) refers to the 1/2 outflow temperature, measured by Koka-type flow tester, of the toner and Tmb (°C) to the 1/2 outflow temperature, measured by Koka-type flow tester, of melt kneading matter of the toner, the relationship 0°C ≤ ΔTm (wherein ΔTm = Tma - Tmb) ≤ 20°C is satisfied and the Tma is in the range of 130 to 200°C.
摘要:
A developer having a sharp amount-of-charge distribution, not contaminating the charger, developing unit, photosensitive body, and intermediate transfer body, capable of producing a high-definition image, especially an image almost free from ground stain and having an adequate image density even after the developer is used for producing many electrophotographs. An electrophotographic image forming apparatus is also disclosed.
摘要:
A toner for static charge image development that has satisfactorily high charging capacity, that even after output of several ten thousand imaged sheets, minimizes the amount of toner spent on carrier, etc., can sustain high charging capability and fluidity and can reduce ground surface stain (fogging), and that excels in low temperature fixation and hot offset properties, exhibiting large fixing temperature width. There are further provided, utilizing the toner, a developer, image forming apparatus and method of forming image. In particular, there is provided a toner for static charge image development, comprising at least a colorant and a resin, characterized in that at least a fluorinated compound is present on its surface, the atomicity ratio (F/C) of fluorine atoms to carbon atoms on toner particle surface being in the range of 0.010 to 0.054.
