摘要:
A toner including a binder resin comprising a modified polyester having an ester bond and a chemical bond other than the ester bond, and a crystalline polyester; and a release agent comprising a microcrystalline wax comprising a hydrocarbon having 20 to 80 carbon atoms which comprises 55 to 70 % by weight of a linear hydrocarbon. The microcrystalline wax has an acid value of from 0.1 to 20 mgKOH/g and a melting point of from 65 to 90°C. The melting point is a temperature at which a local maximum endothermic peak is observed in a differential thermal curve measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The release agent is dispersed in the toner with a dispersion diameter of from 0.06 to 1.50 µm.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus comprising: a latent electrostatic image bearing member; a charging unit configured to uniformly charge a surface of the image bearing member; an exposing unit configured to form a latent electrostatic image on the surface of the charged image bearing member; a developing unit configured to develop the latent electrostatic image formed on the surface of the image bearing member by supplying a toner to form a visible image; a transferring unit configured to transfer the visible image formed on the surface of the image bearing member to a recording medium; a fixing unit configured to fix the visible image on the recording medium by application of at least one of heat and pressure; a cleaning unit configured to clean a residual toner on the image bearing member; and a toner replenishing device configured to replenish the toner to the developing unit, wherein the toner is replenished by the toner replenishing device comprising a pump configured to supply the toner and a toner container arranged in conjunction with the pump, and wherein the toner comprises a binder resin, a colorant and a releasing agent and has a dynamic friction coefficient of 0.15 to 0.35.
摘要:
An image forming method including electrostatic image forming step, developing step, transferring step, fixing step and oil application step for applying an oil to a fixing member, wherein the toner includes a binder resin, a colorant and a wax, and the relationship (A2/A1) x 100 1.0 atomic percent, and X2 > 1.0 atomic percent, are satisfied, wherein X1 and X2 represent amounts of Si atoms of the silicone oil measured by subjecting the toner image to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at times 5 minutes and 24 hours, respectively, after fixing the toner image.
摘要:
A full color toner containing a binder resin, a release agent and a colorant. The binder resin contains a polyester resin containing a hybrid resin containing one or more vinyl group polymer units and one or more polyester units. The content A of the hybrid resin and the content B of the release agent satisfy the following relationship: B/2 ≤ A ≤ 3B
摘要:
A toner set, including at least one chromatic toner containing a colorant; and a transparent toner containing no colorant, wherein the chromatic toner and the transparent toner each include a releasing agent and a binder resin, and wherein an amount of a tetrahydrofuran insoluble matter in the transparent toner is smaller than an amount of a tetrahydrofuran insoluble matter in the chromatic toner.
