摘要:
An electrophotographic process comprising forming an electrostatic image on the surface of a sensitive member, transferring the electrostatic image onto the surface of a transfer member, and developing the image so transferred. The process specifically involves using an overcoated sensitive member consisting essentially of an electrically conductive base, a photoconductive layer and a light-transmitting surface insulating layer, subjecting the sensitive member to a primary charging in a specific polarity using a direct current corona discharge, exposing light and dark images on the surface of the sensitive member and simultaneously subjecting it to a secondary charging until the surface of the sensitive member has the same polarity as in the primary charging and its potential becomes substantially equal to the untransferable upper limit potential, exposing the entire surface of the sensitive member to render the potential of the dark image area higher than the untransferable upper limit potential without substantially changing the potential of the light image area, transferring the electrostatic image so formed on the surface of the sensitive member to the surface of a transfer member, and then developing the electrostatic image so transferred thereby to form visible images.

A particulate composite developer for electrophotography is disclosed, which has a novel dispersion structure comprising a continuous phase consisting of a homogeneous mixture of a resin and a pigment and a dispersed phase consisting of spherical particles of a soft parting or fixing material having an emulsion grade size and being dispersed in the continuous phase. This particulate developer has in combination improved adaptability to the developing operation, excellent transferring and cleaning properties, good ability to form a sharp image free of fog and good fixing property not causing an offset phenomenon.

A developer for electrostatic images comprising a binder medium and a pigment dispersed in the binder medium is disclosed. This binder medium comprises (A) a thermoplastic or rubbery polymer containing a member selected from the group consisting of a halogen atom and a nitrile group at a concentration of at least 100 milliequivalents per 100 g of the polymer and (B) a binder having a melting temperature lower than that of the polymer (A) at an (A)/(B) mixing weight ratio of from 1/20 to 1/1. The halogen- or nitrile-containing polymer (A) is present in the form of fine particles dispersed in the continuous phase of the binder (B). This developer has good flowability and charge characteristics at the developing step and shows an excellent offset-preventing effect at the fixing step.
摘要:
In a one-component type developer for electrophotography consisting essentially of a dry blend of fixing magneto-sensitive particles and flowability- and electric resistance-controlling fine particles, when an aromatic vinyl resin and/or an acrylic resin is used as a binder resin for the magneto-sensitive particles in combination with a low molecular weight olefin resin, the magneto-sensitive particles are much improved in the property of holding the flowability- and electric resistance-controlling fine particles on the surfaces thereof. Accordingly, these fine particles cannot be substantially separated from the magneto-sensitive particles under agitation conditions, development conditions and fixing conditions. As a result, contamination of the interior of a copying machine, especially an optical system, can be completely prevented, and also contamination of the background can be completely prevented. Further, the resulting fixed images have a very high resistance to friction and abrasion, and troubles such as blurring and flow of the image are not caused at all.
