Abstract: A method of forming a xerographic image having at least one portion with a gloss different from a gloss of another portion of the xerographic image includes xerographically forming a toner image on a surface of a substrate and forming a finish over the toner image at the at least on portion, the finish being made of a differential gloss finish coating material that has a gloss different from that of the toner image. The differential gloss finish coating material is preferably an emulsion aggregation toner that is substantially free of pigments that adversely affect the transparency of the toner following fusing, the toner having gloss tunability through control of the amount of crosslinked portions included in the toner.

Abstract: A multicolored display and process for forming such a display is provided. The multicolored display includes marking particles comprising a mixture of photochromic materials. The photochromic materials each exhibit a first “invisible” photochromic state at a first absorption spectrum and at least a second “visible” photochromic state at a second absorption spectrum. The second “visible” photochromic state of each photochromic material produces a different color relative to the other photochromic materials. In embodiments, the marking particles include a mixture of a spiropyran material and a dithienylethene material.

Abstract: A process involving heating a mixture of a colorant dispersion, a latex emulsion, and an optional wax dispersion in the presence of a coagulant containing a metal ion, a base, and an organic sequestering agent, and wherein said heating involves a first heating and a second heating, and wherein the second heating is at a higher temperature than the first heating; and wherein said higher temperature is equal to about or above about the Tg of polymer or resin contained in said latex emulsion.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of toner by, for example, mixing a colorant, a latex, and a coagulant comprising cationic wax dispersion to provide, for example, a toner composition of high gloss images.

Abstract: A chemical toner composed of: (a) a resin including a compound which exhibits a molecular weight polydispersity of from about 1.1 to about 3.0; (b) an optional wax; and (c) a colorant, wherein the particle size of the chemical toner exhibits a geometric standard deviation of about 1.25 or less.

Abstract: A chemical toner and an emulsion aggregation process for preparing the chemical toner, wherein the chemical toner is composed of: (a) a resin including a compound which exhibits a molecular weight polydispersity of from about 1.1 to about 3.0 (where the resin is produced by a stable free radical polymerization process); (b) an optional wax; and (c) a colorant, wherein the particle size of the chemical toner exhibits a geometric standard deviation of about 1.25 or less.

Abstract: Toner with well-dispersed component subparticles is prepared by a method wherein an attritor is initially used to disperse the subparticles in a core monomer, and attrition is continued during initial polymerization of the monomer. Interfacial polymerization is then performed in a preferred embodiment to form encapsulated toner particles.
