  • Patent number: 4192902
    Abstract: A method of toner formation wherein a dispersion of magnetic pigment, resin, solvent and surfactant is spray dried to form the toner particles. Two preferred processes are disclosed: (1) A dispersion of magnetite, resin, fatty acid, and solvent is prepared by high speed agitation. The dispersion is then spray dried to form toner particles. (2) A dispersion of magnetite, fatty acid and solvent is subject to reflux heating, followed by addition of resin solution prior to spray drying to form toner particles.
