摘要:
The present invention provides a process for producing a toner having little remaining polymerizable monomer in it by suspension polymerization. During the latter half of the polymerization reaction, the remaining polymerizable monomers and the aqueous medium are evaporated or removed while supplying the aqueous medium, saturated vapor of the aqueous medium, saturated vapor of a water-soluble solvent, or water-soluble gas to maintain the ratio of solid-liquid constant.
摘要:
A laminate film suitable for providing a transparency for an OHP (overhead projector) is formed by disposing an absorbing layer on a substrate. The absorbing layer functions to allow addition of a wax component to a toner so as to improve the color mixing characteristic and anti-offset characteristic of the toner without causing a wax exudation trace which is liable to occur in a fixed toner image if the absorbing layer is not provided.
摘要:
A toner having a negative triboelectric chargeability and suitable for developing positively or negatively charged images is composed of at least a binder resin, a colorant and an organic metal compound. The organic metal compound is an organic zirconium compound comprising a coordination or/and a bonding of zirconium and an aromatic compound as a ligand or/and an acid source selected from the group consisting of aromatic diols, aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acids, aromatic monocarboxylic acids, and aromatic polycarboxylic acids.

A yellow toner for developing electrostatic images is formed of yellow toner particles containing a binder resin and a yellow colorant. The yellow toner has a storage modulus G'.sub.180 at 180.degree. C. and a minimum storage modulus G'.sub.min(120-170) in a temperature range of 120-170.degree. C. giving a ratio [G'.sub.180 /G'.sub.min(120-170) ] of 2.0-8.0. The binder resin comprises a polyester resin having a glass transition temperature of 50-65.degree. C. and an acid value of 2.0-25.0 mgKOH/g. The yellow toner is a compound represented by Formula (1) below:Formula (1): ##STR1## The primary particles of the yellow colorant exhibit a length/breadth ratio of at most 1.5. The yellow colorant is dispersed in the toner particles as independent particles (including primary particles and secondary particles) providing a number-average particle size of 0.1-0.7 .mu.m. The yellow toner is provided with improved fixability and anti-offset property as well as good color toner performances.

A toner contains toner particles and fine alumina particles. The toner particles include a binding resin and a colorant. The fine alumina particles contain 200 to 700 .mu.g of zirconium compound per gram of alumina. The toner may be used as a one-component developer or as a two-component developer with a carrier.
摘要:
An image forming method has developing an electrostatic latent image on an electrostatic latent image bearing member by the use of a toner containing a wax component, to form a toner image on the electrostatic latent image bearing member; transferring the toner image to the surface of a recording medium; and fixing the toner image on the recording medium, to the recording medium. The recording medium has a laminated film having a substrate layer and a wax component absorption layer for absorbing a wax component contained in the toner. The wax component absorption layer is formed of a resin capable of inhibiting crystal growth of the wax component. The wax component absorption layer is capable of absorbing the wax component contained in the toner when the toner image is fixed to the recording medium.
摘要:
A toner for developing electrostatic images includes: toner particles and organically treated alumina powder. The organically treated alumina powder has an X-ray diffraction characteristic showing a maximum X-ray intensity level I.sub.a-max and a minimum X-ray intensity level I.sub.a-min in a 2.theta. range of 20 to 70 degrees providing a ratio I.sub.a-max /I.sub.a-min of below 6. The alumina powder is amorphous or has a low-crystallinity of .gamma.-form, thereby showing a low agglomeratability to function as an effective flowability-improving agent for a toner. The structural water contained in the alumina powder contained favors hydrophobization treatment thereof and functions to suppress a charge-up phenomenon in a low humidity environment after the hydrophobization.
摘要:
A color toner for developing electrostatic images is formed of color toner particles each including a binder resin, a polyalkylene, and a colorant. The color toner particles are formed by suspension polymerization. The polyalkylene is characterized by having a crystallinity of 10-50% and a melting enthalpy (as measured by a differential scanning calorimeter) of at most 35 cal/g. The color toner is characterized by an improved fixability without causing offset especially at a relatively low temperature and suitable for providing a transparency film for an overhead projection.
摘要:
A developer for developing an electrostatic image is disclosed which has a toner including toner particles each containing a polymer, a copolymer or a mixture thereof and from 5 to 30% by weight of a low softening point material, and each having a plurality of concavities on its surface; the toner particles being prepared by suspension polymerization. Also, an image forming method and a heat fixing method using the developer are disclosed.
摘要:
A height adjustment device is provided that has a first chassis having an adjustment hole, an adjustment screw that stands when threadedly engaged with the adjustment hole in the first chassis, a second chassis locked by the adjustment screw so as to have a preset separation distance from the first chassis, and biasing means for biasing the first chassis and the second chassis in the direction of attaining separation therebetween. The adjustment screw has a tip portion for forming a female thread in the adjustment hole when rotated and inserted into the adjustment hole, a threaded portion having a male thread threadedly engaged with the female thread formed by the tip portion, and a head portion for locking the second chassis against the direction of biasing by the biasing means, in a nearly linear state. The distance between the end of the head portion of the adjustment screw on the male thread side and the end of the tip portion on the male thread side is made larger than the sum of the length of the inside diameter portion of the adjustment hole in which the female thread is formed, the maximum value of the distance between the first chassis and the second chassis and the thickness of the second chassis.
