Abstract: The properties, and particularly the print gloss, of coated, unprinted paper may be predicted using surface profilometry. The profilometer is preferably hand held so the contour of paper in jumbo rolls in the finishing and storage area may be determined quickly. The surface contour is then compared to a calibration curve to predict the desired property.

Abstract: A cold pressure fixable colored toner composition comprised of a core containing a polymer in which is dispersed pigment particles selected from the group consisting of cyan, magenta, red, yellow pigments, and mixtures thereof, other than carbon blacks and magnetites; and encapsulated within a polymeric shell formulated by an interfacial polymerization.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved single component cold pressure fixable toner composition comprised of a core containing (1) magnetite particles, and a styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock polymer and a polymeric shell material generated by an interfacial polymerization process.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of cold pressure fixable toner compositions which comprises (1) admixing a core component comprised of pigment particles, a water insoluble organic solvent and elastomeric materials with a shell monomer dissolved therein; (2) dispersing the resulting mixture in a water phase containing a stabilizing material; (3) hydrolyzing by heating the resulting mixture; (4) subsequently affecting an interfacial polymerization of the aforementioned mixture; and (5) thereafter optionally washing the resulting toner composition.

Abstract: A heterophase ink composition comprised of water and a dye covalently attached to a component selected from the group consisting of poly(ethylene glycols) and poly(ethylene imines), which component is complexed with a heteropolyanion.

Abstract: Disclosed is a heterophase ink composition comprised of a water insoluble polymer dispersed in a liquid medium, the polymer containing therein an oil soluble dye, and a nonionic stabilizer permanently attached thereto.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved toner composition comprised of colored dyes and resin particles, having irreversibly anchored thereto stabilizer generated by the reaction of a stabilizer selected from the group consisting of hydroxy celluloses, poly(acrylic acids), poly(vinyl butyral), and poly(vinyl pyridines), with an alkyl halide, an alcohol, or a carboxylic acid.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved process for the preparation of polymer particles which comprises (1) providing a solvent medium having dispersed therein steric stabilizers, monomers, and initiator compounds; (2) subsequently adding thereto a crosslinking compound; (3) affecting polymerization of the resulting mixture by heating; and (4) thereafter separating the particles formed.

Abstract: An improved process for obtaining colored toner compositions by dispersion polymerization which comprises providing a monomer solution with stabilizer therein, polymerizing the resulting mixture, adding thereto a dye solution comprised of an organic solvent having dissolved therein oil soluble dyes, causing the dye solution to diffuse into the polymer particles, and subsequently separating the resulting toner particles, wherein the stabilizer is permanently attached to the toner polymer particles.

Abstract: Dry monodispersed polymeric particles, a stabilized dispersion of such and a method for making are described. The dispersion comprises a polar dispersion medium having dispersed therein monodispersed particles comprising a thermoplastic resin core substantially insoluble in the dispersion medium formed from a styrene or butylmethacrylate containing monomer or mixtures thereof and having irreversibly anchored thereto, a nonionic amphipathic steric stabilizer comprising a graft copolymer having a portion formed from a styrene or butylmethacrylate containing monomer or mixture thereof and a portion formed from hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxybutyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose or cellulose propionate.

Abstract: A stable colored liquid developer and method for making such are described wherein an improved optical density resulting from a colored dye being imbibed into a thermoplastic resin core occurs. In particular, the liquid developer comprises a marking particle dispersed in an aliphatic dispersion medium, the marking particle comprises a thermoplastic resin core having an amphipathic block or graft copolymeric steric stabilizer irreversibly chemically or physically anchored to the thermoplastic resin core with the dye being imbibed in the resin core and being soluble therein and insoluble in the dispersion medium.
