  • Publication number: 20060121387
    Abstract: A process comprises developing an image on a document having a toner composition applied to the document, wherein the toner composition comprises a resin substantially free of cross linking, a cross linked resin, a wax, and a colorant; and wherein the developed document possesses the characteristic of resistance to adverse effects of electron beam irradiation. In embodiments, the process further includes, during fusing, migrating the wax and cross linked resin to the surface of the toner particles thereby imparting protection to the toner particles against exposure to elevated temperatures.

  • Publication number: 20060121384
    Abstract: Toner compositions include a non cross linked resin; a cross linked resin or gel; a wax; and a colorant. Processes for preparing a toner include mixing a non-cross linked resin and a cross-linked resin or gel in the presence of a wax, a colorant, and a coagulant to provide toner size aggregates; adding additional non-cross linked latex to the formed aggregates thereby providing a shell over the formed aggregates; heating the shell covered aggregates to form toner; and, optionally, isolating the toner.

  • Publication number: 20060063086
    Abstract: A process for preparing toner particles and compositions adapted for use in preparing toners that comprise a blend of a first polyester resin with a second sharp melting polyester resin. The process includes forming an emulsion resin comprising a branched polyester resin, a crystalline polyester resin, a colorant, and optionally a wax. The resin mixture is aggregated using an aggregating agent, such as a zinc acetate solution, to form an aggregate mixture. The aggregate mixture is then coalesced at a temperature of from about 5 to about 20° C. above the Tg of the emulsion resin to produce the resultant toner particles.

  • Publication number: 20050025984
    Abstract: Polyetherimide-b-polysiloxane block copolymers are useful as surface layers for fuser and fixing members in various printing devices, including electrostatographic imaging systems and ballistic aerosol marking devices. Optionally, the polyetherimide-b-polysiloxane block copolymers are fluorinated, or include at least 50% by weight siloxane.
