Where the cooling includes together fluidizing, continuously mixing, and continuously discharging the mixture of the resin particle dispersion and the aqueous medium.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a water-based ink that is excellent in adhesion to a resin printing medium formed of a resin such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, etc., gloss and anti-blocking properties upon storage of the printing medium after printing. The present invention relates to [1] a water-based ink including a colorant, polyester resin particles and modified polyolefin resin particles, in which the polyester resin particles are constituted of a resin containing an amorphous polyester having a glass transition temperature of not lower than 40° C. and not higher than 100° C., and a mass ratio of the polyester resin particles to the modified polyolefin resin particles (polyester resin particles/modified polyolefin resin particles) is not less than 10/90 and not more than 90/10, and [2] an ink-jet printing method including the steps of allowing the water-based ink according to the above [1] to adhere onto a resin printing medium by an ink-jet printing method; and then heating the resin printing medium onto which the water-based ink is adhered, to a temperature of not lower than 40° C. and not higher than 100° C.
Abstract:
According to the present invention, there are provided a process for producing a toner for development of electrostatic images which is capable of suppressing desorption and exposure of a releasing agent therein, and excellent in fusing property, suppression of toner cloud and durability; a process for producing a dispersion, and a kit for producing the dispersion. The present invention relates to a process for producing a toner for development of electrostatic images which includes the following steps (1) to (3): step (1) of mixing and emulsifying a releasing agent and a dispersion of resin particles (A) containing a polyester in an amount of not less than 90% by mass on the basis of a resin component in the resin particles (A) to obtain a dispersion of releasing agent particles; step (2) of mixing and aggregating the dispersion of the releasing agent particles obtained in the step (1) and a dispersion of resin particles (B) containing a polyester in an amount of not less than 90% by mass on the basis of a resin component in the resin particles (B) to obtain aggregated particles; and step (3) of coalescing the aggregated particles obtained in the step (2) to obtain coalesced particles, in which an acid component constituting the polyester in the resin particles (A) contains an aliphatic carboxylic acid; the resin particles (A) have a volume median particle size of not less than 0.02 μm and not more than 0.50 μm; and a content of a surfactant in the dispersion of the releasing agent particles is not more than 0.5 part by mass on the basis of 100 parts by mass of the releasing agent; a process for producing the dispersion of the releasing agent particles which includes the above step (1); and a kit for producing the dispersion of the releasing agent particles.
