摘要:
A method for forming toner particles includes polymerizing monomers to form a latex comprising polymer particles; combining the latex with unsaturated curable resin to form aggregates containing the polymer particles and the unsaturated curable resin particles; and heating the aggregates to form coalesced particles. A toner composition that may be formed by the process described herein contains toner particles containing polymer containing photoinitiator and unsaturated curable resin. Another toner composition that may be formed by the process described herein contains toner particles containing unsaturated curable resin and, on the surface of the toner particles, photoinitiator.

Vehicles for ink compositions are disclosed. The described ink vehicles include at least one curable component, and optionally include initiating agents, colorants, non-curable components and other additives. Processes for preparing the ink vehicles and ink compositions containing the ink vehicles are also described.

Curable monomer that is liquid at 25° C., curable wax and colorant together from a radiation curable ink. This ink may be used to form images by providing the radiation curable ink at a first temperature; applying the radiation curable ink to the substrate to form an image, the substrate being at a second temperature, which is below the first temperature; and exposing the radiation curable ink to radiation to cure the ink.

Ink vehicles having improved gellant solubility and ink compositions including such ink vehicles are provided. Exemplary ink vehicles include first and second co-monomers, and a gellant that includes that includes a curable epoxy-polyamide composite gellant; in which the first and second co-monomers are radiation curable are different from each other. Additional exemplary ink vehicles include at least two chemically distinct gellants. The chemically distinct gellant materials include a first gellant that includes a curable epoxy-polyamide composite gellant, and a second gellant that includes an amide gellant. Methods for making and using these ink vehicles and ink compositions are also provided.

摘要:
The phase change ink a viscosity of from about 4 mPa-s to about 50 mPa-s at a first temperature and has a viscosity of from 104 mPa-s to about 109 mPa-s at a second lower temperature. The second temperature may be below the first temperature by at least 10° C. but by no more than 50° C. The first temperature may be from about 60° C. to about 110° C. and the second temperature may be from about 20° C. to about 70° C. A curve of log10 viscosity of the phase change ink plotted against temperature in degrees Celsius may have a slope having an absolute value less than 0.02 at the first temperature and have a slope having an absolute value greater than 0.08 for at least a region second temperatures.
