Abstract:
A two component development system includes a plurality of toner particles that include a colorant and a plurality of toner carrier particles that include a magnetic carrier core having a D50 diameter in a range from about 30 microns to about 40 microns, and a surfactant-polymer coating, the coating being present in an amount in a range from about 0.5 percent by weight to about 1.5 percent by weight of the toner carrier particle.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a carrier suitable for use with an electrophotographic developer and an electrophotographic developer containing the carrier. In particular, the carrier is powder coated and comprises a copolymer of cyclohexylmethacrylate and dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate.
Abstract:
A carrier including a carrier core; and a coating thereover; wherein the coating comprises a polymer having a low molecular weight of from about 100,000 to about 300,000 g/mole and a particle size of from about 0.05 to about 0.6 micrometer. A developer including a toner; and a carrier; wherein the carrier comprises a carrier core; and a coating thereover; wherein the coating comprises a polymer having a low molecular weight of from about 100,000 to about 300,000 g/mole and a particle size of from about 0.05 to about 0.6 micrometer. A process for preparing a carrier including providing a carrier core; and disposing a polymer coating thereover by combining the carrier core and the polymer coating in a mixing device; optionally, fusing the coating to the carrier core; wherein the coating comprises a polymer having a low molecular weight of from about 100,000 to about 300,000 g/mole and a particle size of from about 0.05 to about 0.6 micrometer.
