Abstract: A toner is described containing low melt wax and having a core and shell, which toner exhibits improved fusing performance as compared to a toner produced with a high melt wax in the core; having a core resin with a Tg equal to or lower than that of the shell resin; or both.

Abstract: Toner particles are prepared by a process comprising providing an extrusion apparatus; adding resin particles and additive particles to a supply means in the extrusion apparatus; adding the resin particles and the additive particles to a blending chamber in the extrusion apparatus, which blending chamber is maintained at a temperature of from about 50° C. to about 120° C.; blending the resin particles and the additive particles to form a mixture; extruding the resin particles to form extruded material; injecting liquid substances, which have a lower boiling point than the melt temperature of the resin particles, into the blending chamber during extrusion without the application of a vacuum to remove the liquid substances prior to extrusion; and grinding the extruded material to form toner particles.

Abstract: A toner having a high strength magnetite in an amount of from about 10 to about 40 weight percent, wherein the magnetite includes a material selected from the group consisting of FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4, gamma iron oxides, cobalt-gamma iron oxides, and mixtures thereof, and further including a developer having a carrier and toner as just described.

Abstract: The presently disclosed embodiments relate in general to toners for use in electrophotographic apparatuses, such as printers and copiers. More particularly, a toner formulation of at least one binder, at least one colorant, and an embrittling agent, and methods for making the same, is provided wherein the embrittling agent increases grinding rate of the toner formulation.

Abstract: Toners including a low melt wax and a carnauba wax are described. The toners include at least one binder, at least one colorant, at least one wax having a melting point of 135° C. or less, and a compatibilizer wax (e.g., carnauba wax). The low melt wax is preferably polyethylene wax. Images may be formed with the toners in an image forming process including steps of depositing the toner onto a latent image of an imaging member to form a toner image, transferring the toner image to an image receiving substrate, and fusing the toner image. During the fusing, the at least one wax and the compatibilizer wax exude from the toner, forming a stripping enhancing layer upon the toner image. Thus, fuser roll stripping performance is enhanced.
