摘要:
Toner used for electrophotographic development includes additives such as inorganic fine particles, having a particular particle diameter and specific surface area, and hydrophobic silica having a particular specific surface area and surface treatment, so that the toner can provide images of high quality without generating photoconductor filming. The toner is applied to the electrophotographic method including the developing step of forming electrostatic latent images on a photoconductor containing a stationary magnet, magnetically attracting the toner to the surface of the photoconductor in a toner sump, and collecting toner at a non-image section by an electrode roller; the transferring step of transferring the toner to transfer paper; the cleaning step of removing residual toner left on the photoconductor in the transferring step; and the recycling step of recycling the residual toner. Toner used for an electrophotographic method using an intermediate transfer member includes additives such as inorganic fine particles, having a particular particle diameter and specific surface area, arid hydrophobic silica having a particular specific surface area and surface treatment, so that the toner can provide images of high quality and high transfer efficiency without generating photoconductor and intermediate transfer member filming.
摘要:
A magnetic toner for use in electrophotographic development which can be endowed with high performance by subjecting it to surface treatment with hot air in its dispersed state. The magnetic toner is used in an electrophotographic system including a development process in which an electrostatic latent image is formed by using a photoconductive drum having a stationary magnet therein, and thereafter the magnetic toner is sucked in a toner sump by magnetic force, whereby non-image area toner is recovered by an electrode roller, and the electrophotographic system including a recycle process of the residual toner. The magnetic toner is capable of realizing high-quality image development and stable recycle of residual toner by subjecting the magnetic toner to surface treatment with hot air.

In an electrophotographic apparatus, which forms a color image by transferring a plurality of toner images having different colors onto an image-receiving sheet so as to be stacked and fixed thereon, even in the case of carrying out an oil-less fixing process and allowing the process speed to vary within wide range, the present invention provides a binder resin, toner and an electrophotographic apparatus which make it possible to achieve both superior fixing property and anti-offset property, and consequently to form a color image with high color reproducibility and high quality. In the present invention, a toner comprising a molecular weight maximum peak in a range of molecular weights from 2×103 to 3×104 in molecular weight distribution of GPC chromatogram, and a molecular weight maximum peak or shoulder in a range from 3×104 to 1×106, wherein said molecular weight maximum peak or shoulder located on a range of molecular weights from 3×104 to 1×106 is obtained by kneading a toner composition containing a specific binder resin containing a high molecular weight component at not less than a specific amount so that the high molecular weight component of the binder is converted into a low molecular weight component by thermal or mechanical energy exerted at the time of kneading, is provided.

The present invention provides a toner comprising a binding resin, a colorant, and an ester based wax having an iodine value of not more than 25 and a saponification value of 30 to 300 (for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of meadowfoam oil and derivatives thereof and jojoba oil and derivatives thereof) and a method for producing the same. The present invention also provides a toner comprising silica fine powder containing a component having a polydimethyl siloxane skeleton extracted by an organic solvent at a content of not more than 2.5 wt %, and a method for producing the same. This stabilizes the chargeability and flowability of the toner during long period use, and eliminates the filming on a photoconductive member or a transfer medium. Moreover, toner that provides good fixability, anti-offset properties, waste toner recycle properties, and transfer efficiency can be obtained with good reproducibility.
