  • Patent number: 5482806
    Abstract: A dry developer composition for an electrostatic latent image is disclosed. The developer composition comprises a magnetic powder-dispersed type carrier comprising a binder resin having dispersed therein a magnetic powder and a toner having adhered thereto inorganic oxide fine particles, wherein at least part of said carrier has previously adhered to the surface thereof inorganic oxide fine particles. The developer composition does not cause background stains over long-term copying even in the relatively initial stage of running.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5176978
    Abstract: A dry toner for developing electrostatic images is disclosed, which comprises a binder resin, a colorant and a wax consisting of a low molecular weight polypropylene and a high density polyethylene having a density of 0.96 or more, a molecular weight of 2,000 to 20,000 and an acid value of 1 or less, wherein the wax is dispersed in the binder resin to form domains having a size of 0.1 to 1.5 .mu.m. A process for producing the toner is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5085963
    Abstract: A dry developer for an electrophotographic process, said dry developer being composed of a toner and a dispersion type carrier composed of a resin and a magnetic powder, wherein polyethylene having a molecular weight of not larger than 10,000, a density of at least 0.95, and an average volume diameter of not larger than 15 .mu.m is externally added to the toner or directly mixed with the developer. The dry developer shows good fluidity and cleaning property, is excellent in environmental stability and durability, and can prevent the occurrence of the toner film phenomenon on a photoreceptor or carrier surfaces.
