Abstract
Image output devices using electrophotographic systems that target the conservation of energy achieve higher levels of energy consumption efficiency as a result of power supply control. Through their use of micro-encapsulation technologies and their superior anti-blocking performance (by preventing fusion between toners), low-temperature fusing toners represent a means of achieving higher levels of energy conservation. This report establishes a micro-encapsulation process for encapsulating a solid and evaluates the anti-blocking effects of various toners that have been micro-encapsulated. The results of this report show that the micro-encapsulation of low-temperature fusing toner materials gave them better anti-blocking characteristics and confirmed the possibility of low-temperature fusing toners.
