  • Publication number: 20170255119
    Abstract: An electrostatic charge image developing toner includes a toner matrix particle having a core-shell structure. The toner matrix particle contains: a core particle including an amorphous resin, a colorant, a release agent, and a crystalline resin; and a shell layer coating a surface of the core particle at a coverage of 60 to 99%. The shell layer includes an amorphous resin. The amorphous resin contained in the core particle differs from the amorphous resin contained in the shell layer. The toner matrix particle has one to seven discrete shell domains determined by observation of a cross section of the toner matrix particle with an electron microscope.

  • Patent number: 8435715
    Abstract: Disclosed is a production method of a two-component developer for developing an electrostatic image comprising a toner and a resin coated carrier having a porous magnetic core particle and a resin coated layer, wherein the porous magnetic core particle are composed of a porous ferrite material and have pore apertures on a surface of the particle, and the method comprises steps of blocking the pore apertures of the porous magnetic core particle with rubber particles by dry mixing of the porous magnetic core particle and the rubber particles, forming the resin coated carrier by forming a resin layer on the porous magnetic core particle whose pore apertures have been blocked, and mixing the resin coated carrier and the toner.

  • Patent number: 8080354
    Abstract: Disclosed is toner in which is used in an image formation process comprising the steps of transferring an image of toner formed on a photoreceptor onto a recording sheet, and removing any residual toner remaining on any of the photoreceptor, an intermediate transfer member and a secondary transfer member with a cleaning blade, the toner containing at least toner particles (A) and small particles (B), wherein the toner particles (A) have an average circularity of from 0.93 to 0.99 and a number-based median diameter (D50) of from 3.0 to 8.0 ?m, the small particles (B) have an average circularity of from 0.70 to 0.92 and a number-based median diameter (D50) of from 0.15 to 0.60 times that of the toner particles (A), and the surface energy of the toner particles (A) is different from that of the small particles (B).
