Abstract:
This invention is directed to improved developer compositions comprised of resin particles, pigment particles, and carrier particles, the improvement residing in the resin particles which are comprised of an uncrosslinked polymer incorporated into a polymer network highly crosslinked in the presence of the uncrosslinked polymer, the uncrosslinked polymer being of a different chemical composition than the crosslinked polymer, thereby resulting in the formation of a sponge-like structure; which developer compositions are useful in electrostatographic imaging systems, including those devices employing cold pressure fixing apparatus.

Abstract:
A heat and pressure fuser and Release Agent Management (RAM) systems therefor. Dual RAM systems are provided. A first RAM system supplies functional release agent material having a relatively high concentration of functional chains (.about.O.05 to 0.3 mol %) to an elastomeric fuser member prior to a second RAM system which supplies release agent material having low functionally or no functionality. The elastomeric fuser member may contain metal oxide particles. The low functionality release agent is relatively non-reactive. Depending on whether the elastomeric member contains the metal oxide particles, the functional chains of the high concentration release agent material which are periodically supplied to the fuser roll surface either attach to the metal particles exposed at the surface of the fuser roll by chemical bonds or to the elastomeric material itself. The non-reactive chains adhere to the functional chains by much weaker physical (such as van der Waals) chains. The periodic application of the high concentration release agent material includes application for a relatively short duration at machine startup as well as periodically thereafter as needed.
Abstract:
An electrostatographic imaging process includes forming an electrostatic latent image on an image forming device, developing the electrostatic latent image on the image forming device with at least one developer containing carrier particles and a blend of two or more compatible toner compositions, and transferring the toner image to a receiving substrate and fixing it thereto. Among the compatible toner compositions that may be selected are toner compositions having blend compatibility components coated on an external surface of the toner particles and particulate toner compositions containing therein blend compatibility components or passivated pigments. Electrostatographic imaging devices, including a tri-level imaging device and a hybrid scavengeless development imaging device, are also provided for carrying out the described process. The processes and apparatus of the present invention are especially useful in imaging processes for producing single color or highlight color images using customer selectable colors, or for adding highlight color to a process color image produced by the same apparatus.
Abstract:
A MICR tape allows for the complete release of magnetic material from the tape substrate. This is accomplished by creating a tape with a layered structure including a magnetic layer coated on a polymer layer with a release layer therebetween.
