摘要:
A toner including at least one amorphous polyester, at least one crystalline polyester and at least one ester wax, wherein the linear polyester and the at least one ester wax have a difference in solubility parameter of from about 0.1 to about 1.7.
摘要:
Environmentally friendly toner particles are provided which may, in embodiments, include a bio-based amorphous polyester resin, optionally in combination with another amorphous resin and/or a crystalline resin. Toner particles may, in embodiments, have a core-shell configuration, with the shell formed of the bio-based amorphous polyester resin, the amorphous polyester resin, the crystalline polyester resin, or combinations thereof.
摘要:
Toner particles are provided which may, in embodiments, include a core and a shell. In embodiments, charge control agents may be co-emulsified with a resin utilized to form a shell. The shell may prevent a crystalline resin in the core from migrating to the toner surface. Inclusion of the charge control agent in the shell itself may provide the resulting toner particles with desirable charge characteristics and sensitivity to relative humidity.
摘要:
A toner process comprising the aggregation and coalescence of an amorphous polyester, a crystalline polyester and a colorant, and wherein the coalescence is conducted at a temperature that is about lower than the melting point temperature of the crystalline polyester.
摘要:
The disclosure describes a pigment treated with a rosin and a toner particle containing that rosin-treated pigment particle. The toner has a lower level of dielectric loss.
摘要:
Pyrophoric nanoparticles and methods of producing the same are provided herein. An exemplary method of producing pyrophoric nanoparticles can include providing a first aqueous solution comprising at least one metal salt and an aliphatic polyether; providing a second solution comprising a metal hydride reducing agent; continuously combining the first and second solutions to produce nanoparticles in a liquid phase; separating the nanoparticles from the liquid phase; and drying the nanoparticles to form pyrophoric nanoparticles. The pyrophoric nanoparticles can have a diameter ranging from about 1 nm to about 50 nm.
摘要:
A toner and method for making a toner that includes an amorphous resin, a crystalline resin, and a cyanine dye. The cyanine dye improves heat cohesion without negatively effecting other desirable properties.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides violet toners and methods for their production. In embodiments, methods of the present disclosure include systems which may be utilized to predict the color properties of a violet toner, thereby permitting adjustment of the pigment loading and/or target mass per unit area.
摘要:
Aspects of the disclosure provide a printing method that can utilize a lightly pigmented toner along with a darkly pigmented toner to improve the image quality. The method can include receiving a dataset corresponding to a printing of a printing system using a darkly pigmented toner. The printing system may have an undesirable optical density printing range for the darkly pigmented toner. Further, the method can include converting the dataset to a first dataset corresponding to a first printing of the printing system using the darkly pigmented toner, and a second dataset corresponding to a second printing of the printing system using a lightly pigmented toner. The first dataset can avoid the undesirable optical density printing range for the darkly pigmented toner, and a combination of the first printing and the second printing providing a substantially same printed optical density corresponding to the received dataset.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides processes for producing toners by emulsion aggregation where the resulting toner particles have high pigment loadings and desired circularity. The methods include adding a metal, in embodiments a metal salt, at the beginning of coalescence, which surprisingly speeds the coalescence process and produces toner particles having a desired size and circularity for use in electrophotographic imaging systems.
