摘要:
Toners are provided, which possess low melt properties capable of producing a low gloss finish. The toners include a core and a shell. The shell includes a crystalline resin. The core may include at least one amorphous resin, an optional crystalline resin, an optional wax, and an optional colorant.
摘要:
A process for making toner particles is provided. In embodiments, a suitable process includes adding a defoamer to an emulsion utilized to form toner particles. Utilization of the defoamer allows for a reduction in the overall aggregation/coalescence cycle time and slurry viscosity, while producing a toner with improved GSDs, low coarse and target circularities.

摘要:
Processes for producing toners are provided. The processes include determining the desired gloss for a given toner, and determining the desired amount of aluminum in the toner to obtain that gloss. Utilizing the processes of the present disclosure, the solids content of an emulsion utilized to produce such a toner, as well as the mixing speed utilized in the aggregation process and the temperature at which aggregation of the toner particles occurs, may then be selected to obtain toner particles possessing the desired amount of aluminum, and thus the desired gloss.

摘要:
A toner of a sulfonated polyester resin and at least one colorant is made to contain from about 0.01% by weigh to about 3% by weight of dry toner in total of lithium, sodium, zinc and calcium. The sulfonated polyester resin may be an alkali metal sulfonated polyester resin, wherein the alkali metal may be sodium and/or lithium. The toner may be formed in an emulsion aggregation process in which an alkali (II) metal salt such as a zinc salt and/or a calcium salt is used as an aggregating agent.
摘要:
A process for preparing toner particles and compositions adapted for use in preparing toners that comprise a blend of a first polyester resin with a second sharp melting polyester resin. The process includes forming an emulsion resin comprising a branched polyester resin, a crystalline polyester resin, a colorant, and optionally a wax. The resin mixture is aggregated using an aggregating agent, such as a zinc acetate solution, to form an aggregate mixture. The aggregate mixture is then coalesced at a temperature of from about 5 to about 20° C. above the Tg of the emulsion resin to produce the resultant toner particles.
