Abstract:
The present disclosure provides toners and methods for their production. In embodiments, the amount of coagulant utilized in producing those toners may be less than amounts currently in use, which may have a beneficial effect by reducing the time for coalescence. Modified waxes may also be utilized which provide excellent gloss and charging characteristics.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides processes for preparing toner particles, in which fewer coarse particles are generated. The process includes introducing a buffer solution during coalescence of the toner slurry. The amount of coarse particles in the resulting toner particles may, in embodiments, be reduced to less than about 5 percent by weight of the total toner particles generated.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a preparation method for a toner. Problems according to use of a surfactant can be solved and it is possible to prepare toner particles having a uniform distribution of particle size by using an alkali-soluble resin containing an acidic group.
Abstract:
A polymerized toner is provided. The polymerized toner has cores containing a wax with a polydispersity of 1.05 to 1.1. The fixability of the polymerized toner is improved by the presence of the wax. Further provided is a method of producing the polymerized toner.
