Sintering Fixed Image Patents (Class 430/124.14)
  • Patent number: 8530130
    Abstract: A method of forming a glossy image is disclosed, comprising the steps of (a) forming a clear toner particle layer with clear toner particles on an image support, (b) heating and pressing the clear toner particle layer formed on the image support, while bringing the surface of the clear toner particle layer into contact with a belt, and (c) cooling the clear toner particle layer to form a clear toner layer, wherein the clear toner particles contain a binder resin and a releasing agent and exhibit a heat quantity of fusion of not less than 3.0 J/g and not more than 9.5 J/g, and the clear toner particles meeting the following requirement: 0.5?S2/S1?1.0.

  • Patent number: 7754405
    Abstract: Toners having toner matrix particles having conductive fine particles, a heat decomposable binder resin and glass frit, and heat decomposable organic resin fine particles attached on the surface of the toner matrix particles. The heat decomposition temperature of the organic resin in the heat decomposable organic resin fine particles is lower than the heat decomposition temperature of the heat decomposable binder resin.

  • Patent number: 7736830
    Abstract: A method for forming circuit patterns having different resistances. The method includes (1) a first step of forming a first toner image using a first toner and a second toner image using a second toner, each by electrophotography, the first toner containing a resistive material, the second toner having a resistance different from that of the first toner; and (2) a second step of transferring and fixing the first toner image and the second toner image to an object to be printed such as a ceramic green sheet, to form a circuit pattern.

  • Patent number: 7622237
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for permanently affixing high-quality images onto glossy substrates. Using off-the-shelf supplies and equipment, a user may print or copy any image to an imaging device utilizing toner with iron oxide to imprint the image onto a film covered transfer agent. The transfer agent is moistened, separated and the image is applied to a glossy substrate without requiring an additional cover coat. It is then fired in a kiln where the surface of the glossy substrate softens and the film of the transfer agent melts or evaporates away leaving the iron oxide pigmented image permanently fused to the glossy substrate.
