Disclosed is a process for preparing a liquid or dry electrophotographic developer comprising: (a) forming a melt mixture comprised of a polymer resin or resins, a colorant, a charge director, and a nonaqueous solvent to obtain a first suspension of colored polymeric particles with a volume average diameter of from about 5 to about 100 microns; and (b) homogenizing with a dairy piston homogenizer said first suspension under pressure of from about 100 to about 500 Bars to obtain a second suspension containing colored polymeric particles with a volume average diameter of from about 0.1 to about 5 microns.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method for making an electrophotographic printing plate by reversal development which comprises uniformly charging the surface of an organic photoreceptor comprising an electrically conductive support and, provided thereon, an organic photoconductive compound bound with a resin binder, exposing the surface to a light image to form a static latent image corresponding to the light image on the surface of the organic photoreceptor and then, subjecting the static latent image to reversal development with an electrophotographic liquid developer containing charged toner particles, characterized in that the reversal development is carried out with the electrophotographic liquid developer having an electrodeposition potential set within the range of 0-80 V in absolute value.
摘要:
A liquid toner having a mineral oil vehicle, a blend of Surlyn ionomeric resin and Nucrel resin, pigment and, as charge director, lecithin, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and calcium Petronate. The charge director optimizes speed of recovery of charge properties during continual use. The mineral oil does not vaporize well and is readily condensed, thus permitting use as a confined toner.
摘要:
A high solids replenishable electrostatic liquid developer concentrate includes toner particles containing a carboxyl terminated polyester resin and a pigment and a liquid toner dispensant. The solids content of the concentrate is above about 50%. A method for producing the concentrate includes the steps of blending particles containing a carboxyl terminated polyester and a pigment with a liquid toner dispersants to form a toner dispersant mixture and to increase the solids content of the toner dispersant mixture to more than about 90% solids. Toner solids in a liquid electrostatic developer are replenished by adding the toner particles to a toner solids depleted liquid electrostatic developer in a liquid electrostatographic printing machine.

Toner and developer compositions contain as charge enhancing components (1) alkyl pyridinium compounds or their hydrates and (2) tetrasubstituted ammonium salts. These toner and developer compositions show improved LC.sub.50 values and are environmentally friendly, and at the same time have very good electrical properties.
摘要:
An improved liquid toner composition for developing latent electrostatic images comprising toner particles, a release agent and a nonpolar dispersant liquid. An agent causing an apparent increase in the cohesivity of the toner particles may be included in the toner composition, or such agent may be used independently of the release agent in the toner composition.
