摘要:
Various venturi configurations are described that are particularly significant for ballistic aerosol marking (BAM) applications. The specific venturi geometries enable the printing of lines having sharp edges and particular widths, using relatively low pressures.
摘要:
A toner composition is provided which contains a polyester resin with hydrophilic groups and hydrophobic end groups and a colorant, wherein said polyester resin is of the formula: wherein R is an alkylene group; X is an aromatic hydrocarbon; Y is selected from the group consisting of an alkali and an alkaline earth metal salt of an arylenesulfonate or an alkylenesulfonate; R′ is a hydrophobic group, and m and n represent the number of random segments of from about 50 to about 300 for n, and from about 20 to about 2,000 for m, and m is less than 20 times n.
摘要:
Toner particles comprise resin, wax and optionally colorants, and the wax is substantially excluded from the interior core of the toner particles. Processes for preparing such toner particles comprise providing an aqueous dispersion of resin particles and optionally colorants, mixing the aqueous dispersion in presence of a coagulant, aggregating to form particles, coalescing to form fused particles, and removing the fused particles from the aqueous dispersion. Wax dispersions can be added either after mixing or during aggregation, so that wax is excluded from the core of the toner particles.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides processes for producing images of excellent color fidelity when incorporating a magenta toner with a lower colorant loading in addition to a first magenta toner. In embodiments, the magenta pigmented particles may be magenta emulsion aggregation toners. In accordance with the present disclosure, a pair of magenta toners are matched in color, wherein the color of a first magenta toner printed at a predetermined halftone area coverage on a substrate substantially matches the color of the solid (100%) printed patch of the second magenta toner, which is lighter than the first magenta toner, thus avoiding a visible hue shift on the print that would otherwise be objectionable. In embodiments, the light magenta toner is color matched by adding a hue-adjusting colorant or combination of colorants which absorb wavelengths of light between 400 and 500 nanometers, and optionally adding a shade-adjusting colorant or combination of colorants which absorb wavelengths of light between 600 and 700 nanometers.
摘要:
A toner composition includes core toner particles and a shell formed over the core toner particles. The core toner particles include a resin substantially free of cross linking, an optional cross linked resin, a polyester resin, and a colorant. The shell includes a resin containing charge control agent recurring units.
摘要:
Improved toner particles having a core-shell structure and related processes thereof are provided. The core of the toner comprises a first polymer, a complexed cationic dye pigment, and a heteropoly acid, and the shell comprises a second polymer. The heteropoly acid can effectively retain the complexed cationic dye pigment within the toner particle by complexing with one or more of the pigment cations, thereby improving the toner properties such as parent charge.
摘要:
A toner includes particles of a resin, an optional colorant, and an acid-containing crystalline polymeric wax, where the acid-containing crystalline wax is selected from carboxylic acid-terminated polyethylene waxes, high acid waxes, and mixtures thereof, and where the toner particles are prepared by an emulsion aggregation process.
摘要:
A dual coagulant toner process comprising adding a first component comprising an ionic salt to a latex emulsion of resin having a colorant mixed therein, to form a latex emulsion; adding a second component comprising an organo-metallic aggregating agent to the latex emulsion by agitation at a temperature above a glass transition temperature of the resin, thereby forming a product mixture; subsequently cooling the product mixture to a temperature below the glass transition temperature of the resin, in order to form toner particles; and optionally, isolating the toner particles.
摘要:
Toner compositions comprising toner particles including additive particles upon an external surface of the toner particles, wherein the additive particles include crosslinked styrene containing polymer particles, exhibit reduced sensitivity to relative humidity. The crosslinked styrene containing polymer particles preferably have an average particle size of from about 30 nm to about 300 nm, and may comprise styrene homopolymer particles, styrene copolymer particles or mixtures thereof. A process of reducing the relative humidity sensitivity of toner using such external surface additive is also described.
摘要:
A process including blending a latex emulsion of resin, water, and an ionic surfactant, a colorant dispersion comprised of a colorant, water, and an ionic surfactant; and a wax dispersion comprised of wax, water and an ionic surfactant, heating the resulting mixture in the presence of coagulants, one of which is a source of calcium ions, which heating is below about the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the latex resin and subsequently heating above about the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the latex resin.
