Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a toner composition, and to a toner composition, that has a controlled particle size distribution, wherein the particle size distribution may be controlled by adjusting the concentration of a charge control additive in a chemical process of toner manufacture. The toner may therefore have a controlled amount of toner particles having diameters of less than or equal to about 4.0 microns. The toner may therefore provide improved resistance to filming on a given printer component.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to chemically processed toner, wherein fuser release agent (wax) may be dispersed in a fluid containing a dispersant. Introduced to the wax dispersion are one or more polymerizable monomers which may be polymerized to form a latex of polymer particles. The polymer particles may then serve as a binder for the formation of toner for use in an electrophotographic printer. The polymerizable monomers may utilize acrylic esters that include relatively long chain hydrocarbon type substitution.
