  • Process for making an improved toner with increased surface additive adhesion and optimized cohesion between particles and toner made using the improved process
    Patent number: 6599673
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a toner and process for making the improved toner. The improved toner comprises a toner resin comprising: at least one colorant; (b) at least one toner resin mixed with the colorant and formed into combined colorant and resin particles having an average size less than 15 microns; and (c) surface additive particles wherein the surface additives are adhered to the colorant and toner resin by an impaction process in a quantity greater than three (3) percent of the combined weight of resin and colorant in the toner.
