摘要:
Super wire history image defects in an image development system including one or more electrode wires (48) disposed in a gap between a toner donor roll (42) and an imaging member are reduced by providing an initial toner composition in the image development system, the initial toner composition containing at least 30 number% fine particles having a particle size no greater than 5 µm; and providing replenisher toner into the development system to replenish the toner used to produce images by the image development system; the replenisher toner containing 20 number% or less fine particles having a particle size no greater than 5 µm.

Disclosed herein are emulsion aggregation toner particles having less than about 15 atomic percent oxygen in relation to a total atomic percent of 100 for all elements on the surface thereof Such toner particles exhibit lower marks on print defects.
摘要:
A process for toner preparation includes forming toner particles by mixing an emulsion comprising at least binder resin and a colorant, aggregating the toner particles, and blending external additives with the toner particles in a blender to form a toner, wherein the blender has a blend intensity of from about 90.5 to about 100.5 W/1b, a specific blend energy of from about 20.3 to about 35.3 W-h/1b and a blender loading density of from about 0.25 to about 0.55 lb/L.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a high intensity blending apparatus, particularly for blending operations designed to cause additive materials to become affixed to the surface of base particles. More particularly, the proposed invention relates to an improved blending tool for producing surface modifications to electrophotographic and related toner particles. The tool comprises a shank having riser members at each end, such risers being angled to the axis of the shank between 10 and 16 degrees.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a toner and process for making the improved toner. The improved toner comprises a toner resin comprising: at least one colorant; (b) at least one toner resin mixed with the colorant and formed into combined colorant and resin particles having an average size less than 15 microns ; and (c) surface additive particles wherein the surface additives are adhered to the colorant and toner resin by an impaction process in a quantity greater than three (3) percent of the combined weight of resin and colorant in the toner. The invention also relates to an improved process for making toners, comprising: (a) forming toner particles averaging 4 to 10 microns in size and comprised of at least one toner resin and at least one colorant; and (b) blending sufficient surface additive particles and the toner particles in a high intensity blender for less than 10 minutes such that the weight of surface additives that become attached to toner particles is greater than three (3) percent of the weight of the classified particles
