  • Publication number: 20230266686
    Abstract: A method for producing a pigment dispersion includes: wet-dispersing a mixture A containing an organic pigment, a flame retardant, a dispersant, and an aqueous medium by using a media disperser to form a mixture B; and wet-dispersing the mixture B by using a media disperser to form a mixture C. The media disperser in the wet-dispersing of the mixture A and the media disperser in the wet-dispersing of the mixture B are annular-type media dispersers each having a cylindrical vessel, a cylindrical rotor that is disposed inside the cylindrical vessel and that rotates to disperse the mixture, and a screen-type media separator that separates media particles and the mixture. The number-average particle size MA of the media particles in the media disperser in the wet-dispersing of the mixture A and the number-average particle size MB of the media particles in the media disperser in the wet-dispersing of the mixture B satisfy the following formula (1) and the following formula (2): 0.5 mm?MA>MB?0.

  • Publication number: 20220390863
    Abstract: A toner manufacturing method includes a first step of filtering toner particles obtained by a wet manufacturing method, a second step of squeezing the toner particles and making water pass through the toner particles, and a third step of squeezing the toner particles and ventilating compressed air through the toner particles, in which Condition (1) and Condition (2) are satisfied, Condition (1): a temperature T of the water passing through the toner particles in the second step satisfies “10° C.?T?35° C.”; and Condition (2): a squeezing pressure P1 in the second step and a squeezing pressure P2 in the third step satisfy “0.2 MPa?P1<P2?0.8 MPa”.

  • Publication number: 20220299900
    Abstract: A preparing method of an electrostatic charge image developing toner includes: aggregating at least binder resin particles and release agent particles contained in a dispersion to form aggregated particles; heating and coalescing the aggregated particles to form coalesced particles; and filtering and cleaning the coalesced particles to obtain toner particles, in which before the aggregating or during the aggregating, a polymer dispersant is added to the dispersion in an amount of 0.01% by weight or more and 1.3% by weight or less with respect to a total weight of the obtained toner particles.

  • Patent number: 10670982
    Abstract: An electrostatic-image developing toner contains toner particles containing a polyester resin having an acid value of from 10 mg KOH/g to less than 15 mg KOH/g. The toner particles have a surface with an acid value in a range from 0.3% to 1.7% of the acid value of the polyester resin. The toner particles have a melt viscosity of from 1,800 Pa·s to 3,800 Pa·s at 100° C.
