Development of New Polymerization Toner

Abstract

Synthesized superior toner with intension of protection of environment is developed aiming energy saving and environment lord decreasing. The new polymerization toner is synthesized with new method using ester elongation polymerization. The new polymerization toner is superior to usual polymerization toners in low temperature fixing. It consists of polyester resins, while usual toners consists of styrene-acrylic copolymers. The futures of new polymerization toner is as follows;
  1) Energy saving by low temperature fixing with polyester resins.
  2) High image quality and reduction of 40% in toner consumption (the antecedent machine ratio)by super fine toner.
  3) Superior characteristics in toner cleaning process.
  4) Reduction of 35% in environmental load (as CO₂ discharge).
