  • Patent number: 7560218
    Abstract: A process for preparing a toner comprising the steps of (1) pulverizing a pulverized product of a composition comprising a resin binder and a colorant with a jet type pulverizer in the presence of fine inorganic oxide particles, to give an upper limit cut-off classification powder; and (2) classifying the upper limit cut-off classification powder with a classifier, the classifier comprising a classifying rotor comprising a driving shaft arranged in one casing as a central shaft thereof in a vertical direction, and a stationary spiral guiding vane arranged to share the same central shaft as the classifying rotor, wherein the stationary spiral guiding vane is arranged in a classification zone on an outer circumference of the classifying rotor with a given spacing to the outer circumference of the classifying rotor.

  • Patent number: 5756244
    Abstract: The toner for full-color electrophotography usable for a fixing process by a heat roller, wherein a releasing oil is not applied on a surface of the heat roller, includes at least (a) a binder resin having as a main component a linear polyester obtainable using one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, acid anhydrides thereof, and lower alkyl esters thereof as an acid component, provided that the saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acids have carbon atoms of not less than 3, and that the unsaturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acids have carbon atoms of not less than 5, the linear polyester having a softening point of from 90.degree. to 120.degree. C. determined by "koka" type flow tester; (b) a releasing agent comprising carnauba wax; and (c) a coloring agent.
