A method for forming a tactile printed image on a receiver medium to convey information to a visually-impaired person from image data having an array image pixels with binary pixel values. The tactile printed image by depositing tactile marking material onto the receiver medium, wherein no tactile marking material is deposited onto portions of the receiver medium corresponding to image pixels having a first state, and tactile marking material is deposited onto portions of the receiver medium corresponding to image pixels having the second state. The receiver medium has a first coefficient of friction, and the portions of the tactile printed image having deposited tactile marking material are raised by at least 20 microns relative to the surface of the receiver medium and have a second coefficient of friction which differs from the first coefficient of friction by at least 0.06.

A composite color toner image can be enhanced by applying a separate fluorescing toner image over it to provide an enhanced color toner image having a “pinkish” fluorescing effect. This separate fluorescing toner image is obtained using visible fluorescing dry magenta toner particles. Each of these toner particles consists essentially of a polymeric binder phase and a visible fluorescing colorant that emits at one or more peak wavelengths of at least 510 nm and up to and including 590 nm and that is dispersed within the polymeric binder phase.

A method for producing an antenna structure for an RFID device, a dry toner for use in producing an antenna for an RFID device and a RFID device comprising an antenna structure made of fused toner are disclosed. In a method for producing an antenna structure for an RFID device, a dry toner comprising a polymeric binder and metallic particles is provided. The toner comprises particles having a resistance allowing triboelectric charging or a resistance allowing inductive charging, wherein said metallic particles are nanoparticles having a mean particle size below approximately 500 nm in at least one direction. In the method, a continuous layer of the dry toner is applied to a substrate in a desired shape of an antenna via an electrophotographic printing process, and subsequently the toner is fused to the substrate by heating the toner above its glass transformation temperature. The dry toner for use in producing an antenna for an RFID device comprises toner particles having a resistance allowing triboelectric charging or a resistance allowing inductive charging. The toner particles comprise a polymeric binder and metallic particles, wherein said metallic particles are nanoparticles having a mean particle size below approximately 500 nm in at least one direction.

Printers are provided for printing using large particle toner. One printer has a printer controller causing a first imaging module to form first toner image using a first toner particle having a first charge-to-mass ratio and a median volume weighted diameter between 3 um and 9 um and having a first charge-to-mass ratio and, a second imaging module to form a second toner image using second toner particles having a median volume weighted diameter that is greater than 20 um and a charge-to-mass ratio that is between ⅓ to ½ of the first charge to mass ratio of the first toner times the ratio of the median volume weighted diameter of the first toner to the median volume weighted diameter of the second toner. The first toner image is transferred to a receiver using a first electrostatic field and the second toner image is transferred using a second electrostatic field.

Metallic dry toner particles are prepared by dry blending resin particles with non-conductive metal oxide particles to form a dry blend. This dry blend is melt extruded under low shear conditions to form an extruded composition that is broken up into metallic dry toner particles. Each metallic dry toner particle consists essentially of a polymeric binder phase formed from the resin particles, and the non-conductive metal oxide particles dispersed within the polymeric binder phase. The metallic dry toner particles have a mean volume weighted diameter (Dvol) before fixing of 15 μm to 40 μm, and the non-conductive metal oxide particles are present in an amount of 20 to 50 weight %. The ratio of the metallic dry toner particle Dvolto the average equivalent circular diameter (ECD) of the non-conductive metal oxide particles in the metallic dry toner particles is greater than 0.1 and to 10.
