摘要:
A method for producing a toner, including ejecting a toner composition liquid containing at least a resin and a colorant periodically from a plurality of nozzles into a chamber using a vibration unit, so as to form droplets in a gas phase; and solidifying the droplets, wherein the droplets are transported by transport air flow selected from at least one of vertical downward air flow and rotational air flow, and the method can prevent toner particles from aggregation.

摘要:
A method for manufacturing a toner, including: dissolving or dispersing toner constituents including a resin, a colorant, a release agent, and a graft polymer including a polyolefin resin unit and a vinyl resin unit in a solvent, to prepare a toner constituent liquid; supplying the toner constituent liquid to a retention part configured to retain the toner constituent liquid; discharging the toner constituent liquid from the retention part to a granulation space through plural holes arranged on the retention part, while exciting the toner constituent liquid by a vibration means in contact with a part of the retention part, so that the discharged columnar toner constituent liquid is constricted to form liquid droplets; and converting the liquid droplets into solid toner particles; together with a toner manufactured by the above method.
摘要:
A method for producing a toner, the method including discharging a toner composition liquid from a plurality of nozzles to form liquid droplets thereof, the toner composition liquid being prepared by dissolving or dispersing in a solvent a toner composition containing at least a binder resin, a colorant, an acid-modified hydrocarbon wax and an unmodified hydrocarbon wax, the waxes serving as a releasing agent, and solidifying the liquid droplets so as to form solid particles.
摘要:
A toner produced by dissolving or dispersing toner components comprising a binder resin, a colorant, and a charge controlling agent in an organic solvent to prepare a toner components liquid, forming liquid droplets of the toner components liquid in a gas phase, and solidifying the liquid droplets into toner particles of the toner.
