  • Patent number: 7309555
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-magnetic monocomponent color toner and a preparing method thereof. In the non-magnetic monocomponent color toner including a toner mother particle, silica and titanium dioxide, the toner mother particle comprises a specific shaped particle size distribution of the charge control agents, and thus, providing non-magnetic monocomponent color toner with a narrow charge distribution and good chargeability. Accordingly, the color toner does not cause contamination in the non-imaging region. Also, because it has superior image density and printing efficiency and significantly improved charge maintenance, it has good long-term stability.

  • Publication number: 20060160008
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a color toner for a nonmagnetic mono-component printing system that improves the printing characteristics, and a preparation method thereof. More specifically, the present invention provides a color toner including a first coating layer and a second coating layer formed on a toner mother particle, wherein the first coating layer contains coated organic powders where two kinds of organic powders are coated with each other, and the second coating layer contains coated inorganic powders where silica and titanium dioxide are coated with each other. The color toner of the present invention has a narrow charge distribution, good image density, high transfer efficiency, excellent long-term stability, and reduced PCR contamination, thereby being good for use in high speed color printers, etc., employing a direct type or a tandem type of transfer system.
