摘要:
The toner includes emulsion aggregation toner particles of a binder including a non-crosslinked styrene acrylate polymer, at least one colorant, at least one wax, and aluminized silica, wherein an amount of aluminum metal in the toner particles is from about 50 ppm to about 600 ppm. Such toner is able to provide a high level of gloss while maintaining a low minimum fixing temperature. The aluminized silica acts as a coagulant during the emulsion aggregation formation process of the toner.
摘要:
Toner compositions comprising toner particles including an amorphous resin, a crystalline resin and a charge control agent. The toner compositions having the charge control agent exhibit improved charge performance in the C-zone and the A-zone, and improved RH sensitivity.
摘要:
A toner having a core with a first latex having a specific glass transition temperature, and further having a shell surrounding the core with a second latex having a specific glass transition temperature, and processes for producing the same.
摘要:
Process for passivating polymeric particles to prevent undesirable interaction with the environment. In particular, sputter coating of metal and surface treatment with aqueous solutions are shown to successfully passivate the particles, such as for example, toner particles, and prevent interaction between the particles and the epoxy embedding resin which causes artifacts, observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides processes for producing images of excellent color fidelity when incorporating a cyan toner with a lower colorant loading in addition to a first cyan toner. In embodiments, the cyan pigmented particles may be cyan emulsion aggregation toners. In accordance with the present disclosure, a pair of cyan toners are matched in color, wherein the color of a first cyan toner printed at a predetermined halftone area coverage on a substrate substantially matches the color of the solid (100%) printed patch of the second cyan toner, which is lighter than the first cyan toner, thus avoiding a visible hue shift on the print that would otherwise be objectionable. In embodiments, the light cyan toner is color matched by adding a hue-adjusting colorant or combination of colorants which absorb wavelengths of light between 500 and 600 nanometers, and optionally adding a shade-adjusting colorant or combination of colorants which absorb wavelengths of light between 400 and 500 nanometers.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides carriers for use with toner compositions. In embodiments, a carrier may include a core, having a dry powder polymer coating. In embodiments, the coating may also include a colorant, such as carbon black. Processes for coating such carriers with the dry powder polymer coatings are also provided.
摘要:
Processes for producing toners are provided. The processes include determining the desired gloss for a given toner, and determining the desired amount of aluminum in the toner to obtain that gloss. Utilizing the processes of the present disclosure, the solids content of an emulsion utilized to produce such a toner, as well as the mixing speed utilized in the aggregation process and the temperature at which aggregation of the toner particles occurs, may then be selected to obtain toner particles possessing the desired amount of aluminum, and thus the desired gloss.

The present disclosure provides processes for producing images of excellent color fidelity when incorporating a magenta toner with a lower colorant loading in addition to a first magenta toner. In embodiments, the magenta pigmented particles may be magenta emulsion aggregation toners. In accordance with the present disclosure, a pair of magenta toners are matched in color, wherein the color of a first magenta toner printed at a predetermined halftone area coverage on a substrate substantially matches the color of the solid (100%) printed patch of the second magenta toner, which is lighter than the first magenta toner, thus avoiding a visible hue shift on the print that would otherwise be objectionable. In embodiments, the light magenta toner is color matched by adding a hue-adjusting colorant or combination of colorants which absorb wavelengths of light between 400 and 500 nanometers, and optionally adding a shade-adjusting colorant or combination of colorants which absorb wavelengths of light between 600 and 700 nanometers.
摘要:
Processes for producing emulsion aggregation toners are provided. In embodiments, methods of the present disclosure may be utilized to produce toners suitable for low melt applications, including use in flexible packaging applications, where low pile height is desired for low cost and flexibility. In embodiments, the EA toners may be prepared by optimizing the particle size of the emulsion, the choice of and amount of aggregating agent utilized, and the solids content of the emulsion.
