Abstract: An electrophotographic image forming method in which, after transferring a toner image on an electrophotographic photoreceptor onto a recording material, the residual toner on said photoreceptor is removed employing an elastic body rubber blade is disclosed.

Abstract: An electrostatic developer comprising a mixture of (1) a toner component containing image-forming particles, and (2) particles obtained by subjecting inorganic oxide or organic particles to a hydrophobic treatment with a dimethyl cyclopolysiloxane.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of toner by mixing a colorant dispersion and a latex emulsion, and wherein the latex emulsion contains resin and a surfactant, wherein the surfactant is, for example, of the Formulas (I) or (II) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrophobic aliphatic, or hydrophobic aromatic group; R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, and alkylarylalkyl; R.sup.3 is hydrogen or alkyl; A is a hydrophilic polymer, and m represents the number of A segments.

Abstract: The invention relates to (1) a toner with inorganic fine particles added externally, the inorganic fine particles having a specified mean particle size and a specified particle size distribution, and (2) a toner having specified particle size, specific gravity, and angle of toner repose, and a developing agent comprising the toner and a carrier.The toner of the present invention has good environmental stability, non-sticking characteristic, and good storage stability under hot conditions, and is capable of forming good images without aggregation noise. Further, the toner is not liable to produce toner dust and does not damage the photoconductor. The toner is particularly suitable for full-color image formation.

Abstract: A composition comprised of a core and thereover a mixture of a first and second polymer, and wherein said first polymer contains a conductive component, and said second polymer is a poly(urethane).

Abstract: The image transfer properties and other properties of a fixable toner composition are made more stable by blending the binder resin of the toner with a multiphase organosiloxane block or graft condensation copolymer of low molecular weight which provides organosiloxane domains of particular size and concentration at the toner particle surfaces.
