Abstract: The present invention relates to a toner composition with a broad fusing temperature range and a process for preparing the same. The toner composition according to the present invention creates entanglement between adjacent polymer chains using a non-linear polyester resin having a branch structure, provides elasticity to molten materials by the branch structure when the resin is molten, prevents the molten materials from being transferred to the surface of a roller at a high temperature, and thereby increases the maximum fusing temperature. Therefore, as the average branch number per polyester resin increases, the maximum fusing temperature rises and the fusing temperature range of the toner composition can be widened.

Abstract: A process for preparing a dispersion polymerized color toner for developing latent electrostatic images includes polymerization of a macromer in a liquid organic medium in which the macromer or the resulting polymer resin is not soluble. The liquid organic medium comprises a polymeric dispersion stabilizer. A macromer mixture comprising macromer, a colorant and a charge control agent may be polymerized in the dispersed state to produce the toner. Alternatively, the macromer is polymerized in the dispersed state to produce a particulate polymer resin. The particulate polymer resin formed is a functionalized resin having sites suitable for interacting with functionalized dyes that have complementary functionality. The functionalized dye is then applied to the resin particles typically with a dyeing aid, or surfactant. Toners produced by the inventive processes are substantially free of contamination by the liquid organic medium used during dispersion polymerization and/or dispersion dyeing.
