摘要:
A kneaded material obtained by heating and melt-kneading a toner composition and a water-based medium containing water are put into a container of a granulating apparatus, and heated by a heater while agitating, to disperse the kneaded material into the water-based medium in its softened state. A temperature at which a loss tangent value of the kneaded material reaches a predetermined loss tangent value A, specifically, 0.5 or more and less than 5.0, is inputted to a granulating temperature input section as a setting granulating temperature T1. The heater is then controlled by a control section so that a granulating temperature as a temperature of the water-based medium measured by a thermometer reaches the setting granulating temperature T1 inputted to the input section. Accordingly, the granulating temperature as a temperature of the water-based medium, and thus a temperature of the kneaded material in the water-based medium is adjusted to T1.

There is provided a toner which can be manufactured in a simple production method and which is excellent in preservation stability and anti-offset property with uniformly-charging performance. The toner is formed of aggregate of resin-containing particles which are obtained by forming amorphous resin particles into slurry and further finely granulating the amorphous resin particles in form of the slurry followed by aggregation of the amorphous resin particles and which contains a binder resin, a colorant, a release agent, and a release agent-dispersing aid, the resin-containing particles having a volume average particle diameter in a range of from 0.4 μm to 1.0 μm.

A toner is so configured as to satisfy the following conditions: (b)/(a) is from 0.90 to 1.02, (a) is from 140 to 150 and the average value in the entire toner particles of a shape factor SF-2 of the toner particles is larger than 140, where (a) represents a shape factor SF-2 showing the degree of irregularity on the surface of toner particles having a particle size D75V or less which is a particle size at which a cumulative volume from a large particle size side in particle size distribution by volume is 75%, and (b) represents a shape factor SF-2 of toner particles having a particle size D25V or more which is a particle size at which a cumulative volume from a large particle size side in particle size distribution by volume is 25%.
摘要:
A toner is composed of toner particles which contain at least a binder resin, a colorant, and a release agent. As to particle size distribution and particle number distribution of the toner particles, a volume average particle size of the toner particles is set to be 3.0 μm to 6.0 μm, and a content of 5.0 μm or smaller toner particles is set to be 40% by number while a content of 8.0 μm or larger toner particles is set to be less than 2% by volume. Furthermore, an amount of the release agent in toner particle surface is set to be 0.7% by weight or more and 1.8% by weight or less. And furthermore, the release agent is a petroleum-based release agent.

摘要:
Since the paper entry guide is disposed below and in close proximity to a fixing belt, the leading edge of recording paper can become wavy or curled when operated in a high temperature, high humidity environment or when printing on the reverse side of the paper in double-sided print mode, and this has lead to the problem that the leading edge of the recording paper after transfer is not properly inserted in the narrow spacing between the paper entry guide and the fixing belt, resulting in a recording paper jam. A fixing device comprises a fixing belt stretched around a heating roller with a heat source contained therein and a fixing roller, a pressing roller for pressing the fixing roller from below via the fixing belt, and a paper entry guide disposed below and in close proximity to the fixing belt and upstream of a nipping portion composed of the fixing belt and the pressing roller. The paper entry guide is pivotably supported on a fulcrum. A solenoid is provided at the upstream side of the paper entry guide, and a return spring is disposed above the paper entry guide. The solenoid, when in the ON state, pulls a plunger to its lowermost position against the spring force of the return spring, and thereby rotates the paper entry guide in the clockwise direction about the fulcrum to maintain spacing with respect to the fixing belt.

A toner, a developer, a two-component developer, a developing device and an image forming apparatus are provided. In the image forming apparatus, images are formed with a developer that fills a developing tank of the developing device. The developer includes the toner containing at least a binder resin, a colorant, and a release agent, the release agent having an acid value of less than 4 mgKOH/g and in which an amount of the release agent exposed on a surface of toner is 0.5% by weight or more and 2.5% by weight or less of a total amount of the toner.
