摘要:
The invention relates to a method for producing liquid toner compositions containing charge directors and in which the electrical properties of the charge directors are stabilized, which method comprises the steps of: (A) first making a homogeneous liquid composition which comprises (1) liquid hydrocarbon compatible with liquid toners for electrostatic imaging, (2) at least one charge director, and (3) at least one stabilizing component in an amount effective to stabilize the electrical properties of the at least one charge director, the stabilizing component being selected from solubilizable acids which include organic moieties (e.g. C.sub.12 to C.sub.18 saturated aliphatic carboxylic acids, C.sub.4 to C.sub.18 ethylenically unsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acids, C.sub.7 to C.sub.13 aromatic carboxylic acids, and partial alkyl esters of orthophosphoric acid containing 12 to 36 carbon atoms); and (B) mixing the homogeneous liquid composition from step (A) in any order with at least component (5) from the following components (5) and (6), namely, (5) pigmented thermoplastic resin particles, and (6) further liquid hydrocarbon as defined in (1), above, such that component (5) is micro-dispersed in the toner composition.
摘要:
Scuff resistance, abrasion resistance and peel resistance of a wide class of liquid toners may be improved by the addition of a minor amount of an additional material which, at the fusing temperature used for the toner, has a much lower viscosity, preferably several orders of magnitude lower, than the viscosity of the toner particles at the fusing temperature and which forms a separate phase from the toner particles when solidified. It is believed that such material, during the fusing process, migrates to the outer surface of the image. During cooling of the image after it is fused, the additional material forms a substantially separate phase resulting in a hard slippery coating of the additional material which protects the image from abrasion.

摘要:
A method for preparing a plastic surface for printing with a toner comprising: forming a layer of an aqueous mixture comprising a first material and a second material on the surface, wherein the first material has an affinity for the plastic and the second material has an affinity for the first material and the toner, and drying the layer.
摘要:
Apparatus for printing images on generally cylindrical objects, such as cans, including: an image bearing surface having an image thereon; and an impression guide which is generally parallel to and spaced from the image bearing surface, which guide supports the cylindrical objects in rolling contact with the image bearing surface, whereby images are transferred from the image bearing surface to surfaces of the cylindrical objects in contact therewith.
摘要:
An imaging process including the steps of forming an electrostatic image on a photoconductor surface, developing the electrostatic image with a liquid developer to form a developed image on the photoconductor surface, and transferring the developed image from the photoconductor surface to a final substrate. The cohesiveness of the developed image on the photoconductor surface is enhanced by the application of heat, ultraviolet radiation or a catalytic agent to the developed image on the photoconductor surface.
摘要:
An improved liquid toner composition for developing latent electrostatic images comprising toner particles, a release agent and a nonpolar dispersant liquid. An agent causing an apparent increase in the cohesivity of the toner particles may be included in the toner composition, or such agent may be used independently of the release agent in the toner composition.
