To provide an image forming apparatus including a latent electrostatic image bearing member; a charging unit; an exposing unit; a developing unit; a transferring unit; and a fixing unit, wherein the binder resin of a toner comprises a polyester-based resin (A) and a polyester-based resin (B) having a melting point which is at least 10° C. higher than that of the polyester-based resin (A), the polyester-based resins (A) is a resin which is derived from a (meth)acrylic acid-modified rosin and which has a polyester unit obtained by condensation polymerization of an alcohol component and a carboxylic acid component containing a (meth)acrylic acid-modified rosin, and the polyester-based resin (B) is a resin derived from a fumaric acid/maleic acid-modified rosin and has a polyester unit obtained by condensation polymerization of an alcohol component and a carboxylic acid component containing any one of a fumaric acid-modified rosin and a maleic acid-modified rosin.
摘要:
A method for producing a toner, the method including discharging a toner composition liquid from a plurality of nozzles to form liquid droplets thereof, the toner composition liquid being prepared by dissolving or dispersing in a solvent a toner composition containing at least a binder resin, a colorant, an acid-modified hydrocarbon wax and an unmodified hydrocarbon wax, the waxes serving as a releasing agent, and solidifying the liquid droplets so as to form solid particles.

摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide a toner having a uniform composition of toner materials among toner particles, excelling in charge stability, enabling high-quality images without substantially causing fog and toner scattering, and having a small diameter and a narrow particle size distribution. The present invention also provides an effective production method of the toner, and an image forming method and the like using the toner. For this end, the present invention provides a method for producing a toner in which a dissolved and dispersed solution of toner materials is dispersed as dispersion particles in an aqueous medium containing no organic resin fine particles to prepare an oil droplet-in-water dispersion, and organic resin fine particles are added to the oil droplet-in-water dispersion to thereby granulate a toner in the presence of the organic resin fine particles.
摘要:
A method for preparing a toner including toner particles, including granulating a toner constituent mixture to prepare toner constituent particles having a polar group with a first polarity on a surface thereof; and mixing a surfactant having a second polarity different from the first polarity and a particulate material with the toner constituent particles to prepare the toner particles. A toner prepared by the method mentioned above. An image forming method including developing a latent image with the toner; transferring the toner image on a receiving material optionally via an intermediate transfer medium, and fixing the toner image on the receiving material. A process cartridge including a developer container containing a developer including the toner mentioned above, and at least one of an image bearing member; a charger; a developing device; and a cleaner.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a toner useful, for example, for visualizing an electrostatic latent image formed on an image bearing member by a method such as electrophotography and electrostatic recording methods. In addition, the present invention also relates, without limitation, to a developer including a toner, a developing method using a toner and a method of preparing the toner.
