Abstract: A method of producing a toner comprising toner particles containing a binder resin composed of a non-crystalline polyester resin having a crosslinking structure and a crystalline polyester resin is disclosed, the method comparing steps of; a process to form an oil phase liquid by dissolving or dispersing a non-crystalline polyester resin having a polymerizable unsaturated double bond and a crystalline polyester resin in an organic solvent, a process to form an aqueous dispersion liquid of oil droplets of the oil phase liquid by dispersing the oil phase liquid in an aqueous medium, a process to form oil droplets containing the non-crystalline polyester resin having a crosslinking structure by adding a radical polymerization initiator to the aqueous dispersion liquid of oil droplets, and an organic solvent removing process to form toner particles by removing organic solvent.

Abstract: An electrophotographic image forming method is disclosed. In the method electrostatic latent image is developed by a non-magnetic single-component developing system, in which a non-magnetic single-component developer is conveyed by a developer carrying member, the developer carrying member is contacted with a developer layer regulation member for regulating an amount of the developer at the surface of the developer carrying member, and a binder resin of the developer comprises a vinyl polymer having an acid value of from about 5 to about 30 mgKOH/g and a ratio of hydroxyl group value/acid values from about 0.3 to about 0.8.

Abstract: An electrostatic image developing toner is disclosed, comprising a resin and a colorant, wherein the toner contains at least one iminocarboxylic acid or its salt in an amount of from 26 to 388 ppm by mass.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image forming method comprising developing a latent electrostatic image formed on the surface of a latent electrostatic image bearing body by a developer borne and conveyed by a developer bearing body which is brought into contact with a developer layer control member to control an amount of the developer on the surface of the developer bearing body through a nonmagnetic single-component development system, wherein an acid value (SAV) of the surface of the developer and a total acid value (TAV) of the developer meet the following requirements: 1<SAV/TAV?5 and 5?TAV?25, and a ratio of a mass average particle size (d50, ?m) of the developer to a surface roughness (Ra, ?m), d50/Ra being in a range of 0.5 to 3.0 and an average spacing (Sm) between protruding peaks of the developer bearing body being in a range of 20 to 200 ?m.

Abstract: The invention provides a downsized processing machine, equipped with a machine tool and a multijoint robot. The processing machine 100 comprises a machine tool 10, a workpiece pallet 70 and a gantry rail 120 disposed above the machine tool 10. A multijoint robot 130 traveling on the gantry rail 120 is equipped with a dual-partitioning electron system speed monitoring function. Through use of this function, the range of movement D2 of the multijoint robot 130 is controlled to fit within the inner side of a front cover 11 of the machine tool 10, according to which the safety barrier 180 can be downsized. This arrangement enables the operator to open or close a door 12 of the machine tool 10 and to manipulate a control panel 16 even when the multijoint robot is in operation, and the footprint of the machine can be minimized.

Abstract: A toner comprising: (i) toner particles, each toner particle comprising a binder resin and a colorant; and (ii) an oxymonocarboxylic acid or a salt thereof, wherein a total content of the oxymonocarboxylic acid or the salt thereof in the toner is 10 to 173 ppm based on the total weight of the toner.

Abstract: Provided is an electrostatic charge image developing toner usable for downsized color image forming apparatus capable of rapid print preparation with neither an influence on production cost nor use of a specific material as the toner constituent material. Also disclosed is an electrostatic charge image developing toner possessing at least a resin and a colorant, wherein the electrostatic charge image developing toner contains 12-984 ppm of a polyvalent organic acid or a salt thereof.
