Abstract: A process for the preparation of developer compositions which comprises (1) providing carrier particles consisting of a core with a coating thereover; (2) introducing the carrier particles into a blending apparatus; (3) adding to the blending apparatus fine toner particles with a diameter of from about 2 microns to about 10 microns, said particles being comprised of toner resin particles, pigment particles, and a charge enhancing additive; (4) affecting blending for a period of time sufficient to enable the classified toner particles to alter the tribogenerating ability of the surface of the carrier particles and become embedded therein; (5) subsequently adding to the resulting blended mixture toner particles of a diameter of from about 2 to about 18 microns, and comprised of toner resin particles, pigment particles, and a charge enhancing additive; and (6) blending for a period of form about 1 minute to about 5 minutes.

Abstract: Toner removal device for removing residual toner and debris from a charge retentive surface after transfer of toner images from the surface. This device is characterized by the use of a pair of detoning rolls, one for removing toner from a biased cleaner brush and the other for removing debris such as paper fibers and Kaolin from the brush. The rolls are electrically biased so that one of them attracts toner from the brush while the other one attracts debris. Thus, the toner can be reused without degradation of copy quality while the debris can be discarded.
