Patent number: 8211600Abstract: The present disclosure provides processes for producing images of excellent color fidelity when incorporating a magenta toner with a lower colorant loading in addition to a first magenta toner. In embodiments, the magenta pigmented particles may be magenta emulsion aggregation toners. In accordance with the present disclosure, a pair of magenta toners are matched in color, wherein the color of a first magenta toner printed at a predetermined halftone area coverage on a substrate substantially matches the color of the solid (100%) printed patch of the second magenta toner, which is lighter than the first magenta toner, thus avoiding a visible hue shift on the print that would otherwise be objectionable.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2011Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Daryl Vanbesien, Karen Moffat, Yi Xin Gong, Edul Dalal, Jing Wang, Richard Veregin, Jordan Wosnick, Cuong Vong, Valerie Farrugia
