Abstract: The present disclosure provides polyesters suitable for use in forming toners. In embodiments, a polyester may be subjected to phase inversion emulsification, in which charge control agents are added so that the polyester emulsion includes charge control agents therein. The resulting polyester emulsion with charge control agents may then be utilized to form toner particles.

Abstract: A gravure printing element is fabricated using a negative-working thermally-imageable coating that is exposed using commercially available diode lasers, the coating being insensitive to ultraviolet light, daylight or visible light, and developable using aqueous media. A gravure etch mask is formed on a printing precursor by applying a coating of thermally-imageable material, curing the coating, imagewise illuminating the cured coating with a laser and removing with a developer the areas of the coating that were not illuminated. The masked precursor is then chemically etched to produce a gravure printing element.

Abstract: An acetylene compound is used in a thermographic image-recording element comprising on a support an image-recording layer containing a non-photosensitive organic silver salt, a reducing agent therefor, and a thermoplastic polymer binder. The element can be heat developed at lower temperatures.
