摘要:
An ink for ink jet printing includes a liquid vehicle comprising water and toner particles with a colorant dispersed in or associated with the toner particles. The ink composition combines the print quality advantages of xerographic printing with the economic advantages of ink jet printing, thereby providing waterfast, archival quality prints.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of toner compositions comprising:(i) preparing a latex or emulsion resin comprised of a polyester core encapsulated within a styrene based resin shell by heating said polyester emulsion containing an anionic surfactant with a mixture of monomers of styrene and acrylic acid, and with potassium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, sodium bisulfite, or mixtures thereof;(ii) adding a pigment dispersion, which dispersion is comprised of a pigment, a cationic surfactant, and optionally a charge control agent, followed by the sharing of the resulting blend;(iii) heating the above sheared blend below about the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resin to form electrostatically bound toner size aggregates with a narrow particle size distribution; and(iv) heating said electrostatically bound aggregates above about the Tg of the resin.
摘要:
A toner composition includes a styrene/butadiene resin having a weight average molecular weight of less than about 70,000 and a number average molecular weight of from about 8,000 to about 12,000, has a glass transition temperature of from about 50.degree. C. to about 60.degree. C. and provides excellent gloss and high fix properties at a low fusing temperature. The styrene/butadiene resin is produced by an emulsion polymerization process that includes forming an emulsion of a surfactant, styrene monomer, butadiene monomer and a water-soluble monomer in water, and then polymerizing the monomers in the presence of a water-soluble initiator.
摘要:
A process comprising heating a mixture of colorant and latex in the presence of a coagulant and a silicate salt, and wherein said heating comprises a first heating equal to or below about the glass transition temperature of a polymer contained in said latex, and a second heating equal to or about the glass transition temperature of a polymer contained in said latex; wherein said first heating enables the formation of aggregates and said second heating enables the fusion of said colorant and said polymer; and optionally wherein said silicate is contained in an alkali metal hydroxide.
摘要:
A process comprising applying a toner security mark on a document generated by xerographic means and which mark possesses white glossy characteristics, and wherein said toner is comprised of a polymer and a colorant.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of toner including (i) gerating by emulsion polymerization in the presence of an initiator a first resin latex emulsion; (ii) generating by polycondensation a second resin latex optionally in the presence of a catalyst; (iib) dispersing the resin of (ii) in water; (iii) mixing (iib) with a colorant thereby providing a colorant dispersion; (iiib) mixing the resin latex emulsion of (i) with the resin/colorant mixture of (iii) to provide a blend of a resin and colorant; (iv) adding an aqueous inorganic cationic coagulant solution of a polymeric metal salt and optionally an organic cationic coagulant to the resin/colorant blend of (iiib); (v) heating at a temperature of from about 5 to about 10 degrees Centigrade below the resin Tg of (i), to thereby form aggregate particles and which particles are optionally at a pH of from about 2 to about 3.5; (vi) adjusting the pH of (v) to about 6.5 to about 9 by the addition of a base; (vii) heating the aggregate particles of (v) at a temperature of from about 5 to about 50 degrees Centigrade above the Tg of the resin of (i), followed by a reduction of the pH to from about 2.5 to about 5 by the addition of an acid resulting in coalesced toner; (viii) optionally isolating the toner.
