169results about How to "Uniform gloss" patented technology

Provided is a toner having excellent long-term storage stability and exhibiting both low-temperature fixability and uniform gloss in high-speed printing. A toner has a toner particle that contains a crystalline polyester resin A, an amorphous polyester resin B and a colorant, wherein the crystalline polyester resin A has a polyester molecular chain having a nucleating agent segment at the terminal end thereof, and an SP value Sa ((cal / cm3)1 / 2) of the crystalline polyester resin A ranges from 9.00 to 11.50, and the amorphous polyester resin B has a specific functional group.

An image forming method, comprising passing a toner image-bearing sheet through a nip defined between two rollers including a heater roller to fix the toner image on the sheet, wherein the toner image is formed from a toner comprising a binder resin, and a colorant, wherein the toner image before the passage through the nip has a toner volume V1 and a toner image area S1, wherein the toner image after the passage through the nip has a toner volume V2 and a toner image area S2, and wherein a volume change Vt and an area change St defined by the formulas shown below are 30% or less and 20% or less, respectively:Vt(%)=(V1−V2) / V1×100St(%)=(S2−S2) / S1×100.Alternatively, the toner image before the passage through the nip has a surface roughness of 2.5 μm or less.

An image forming method for fixing a toner image on a recording medium by passing the recording medium through a fixing nip defined between a first member and a second member under heat and pressure. The toner includes a specific amount of a shear buffer. The first and second members extend along respective first and second longitudinal axes, and have respective at least one convex portion curving outward and at least one concave portion curving inward with respect to each of the respective first and second longitudinal axes. At least one of the first and second members is heated, and the first convex portion engages the second concave portion and the first concave portion engages the second convex portion, to define the fixing nip therebetween.

UV-glossing for simplex and duplex prints, wherein an input member having thereon a pre-gloss toner image including UV-curable toner is moved, in non-slip association with a smooth UV-transparent web, jointly with the web through a plurality of process zones sequentially including a heating zone and an exposure zone, thereby producing an output member having a glossed, UV-cured, surface. In the heating zone, at least the outermost toner of the pre-gloss toner image is heated to a molten state in contact with the web. In the exposure zone, with the molten state being maintained, at least the outermost toner which contacts the web is cured by a flux of UV radiation transmitted through the web. In a preferred embodiment, the UV-curable toner is formed as an outer layer on the pre-gloss toner image.

An ink-jet recording method of recording an ink-jet recording ink containing at least a water-soluble dye and a resinous micro-particle dispersion on an ink-jet recording medium, comprising steps of providing a colorless ink on at least a part of the ink-jet recording medium by a liquid providing section separately installed from a recording section for the ink-jet recording ink, wherein the colorless ink contains at least a resin and is substantially colorless.

The application discloses a thermal transfer recording medium having at least one transferable protective layer arranged on a base with a non-transferable release layer provided therebetween, in which the protective layer is detached from the release layer at the interface between the at least one protective layer and the release layer during thermal transfer printing and then thermally transferred onto an image, includes a primer layer containing at least one fluorocarbon-based surfactant, the primer layer, the release layer, and the protective layer being stacked, in that order, on one surface of the base, in which the release layer has a glass transition temperature of 60 DEG C to 110 DEG C.

A quick heating and quick cooling highlight molding die comprises a fixed die (1) and a movable die (6) matched with the fixed die (1) and positioned above the fixed die (1). The highlight molding die is characterized in that the inside bottom of the fixed die (1) is provided with a cooling block (2) with a cooling liquid passage (3), a floating insert (4) is arranged above the cooling block (2), the inside of the floating insert (4) is provided with a heater (5), and a workpiece die cavity is formed between the floating insert (4) and the movable die (6); an elastic piece for keeping a clearance (14) between the floating insert (4) and the cooling block (2) is arranged between the floating insert (4) and the cooling block (2); and a director is arranged between the floating insert (4) and the cooling block (2). During injection molding, the die has certain temperature so as to ensure that a melting material does not produce melting marks and flowing marks during flowing and butting in the die cavity, and meanwhile ensure the appearance and quality of the product so that the surface luster of the product is even and consistent; and maintaining the pressure after injection, the product can be quickly cooled and timely molded.
