Problems solved by technology

[0028] Although the technology described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-276064 can prevent the generation of rubbing defects, the amount of solvent contained in the toner is large, resulting in problems such as poor blocking resistance or poor high-temperature storage properties of the toner.

Embodiment 1

[0366] Production of toner particles (1)

[0367] Charge the following ingredients into a 3 L reaction vessel equipped with a thermometer, pH meter and stirrer:

[0368] Ion exchanged water: 400 parts

[0369] Crystalline polyester resin dispersion (1) (20% concentration of crystalline polyester resin): 50 parts

[0370] Non-crystalline polyester resin dispersion (1) (concentration containing non-crystalline polyester resin is 20%): 250 parts

[0371] Anionic surfactant (trade name: NEOGEN RK, manufactured by Dai-ichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd., active ingredient content 60%): 2.5 parts

[0372] While stirring the contents of the reaction vessel at 150 rpm and adjusting the temperature from the outside using a mantle heater, the contents were maintained at 30° C. for 30 minutes.

[0373] Afterwards, add the following ingredients to it:

[0374] Colorant dispersion (1) (15% colorant concentration): 47 parts

[0375] Release agent dispersion (release agent concentration is 25%...

Embodiment 2

[0388] Preparation of Toner Particles (2)

[0389] Toner particles (2) were prepared in the same manner as the preparation of toner particles (1) in Example 1, except that the crystalline polyester resin dispersion (2) and the non-crystalline polyester resin dispersion were used. Liquid (2) was used instead of the crystalline polyester resin dispersion liquid (1) and the non-crystalline polyester resin dispersion liquid (1) in Example 1, respectively.

[0390] The obtained toner particles (2) had a volume average particle diameter (D50) of 6.3 μm, a GSD (volume) of 1.23, and a shape factor SF1 determined by observing the particle shape under LUZEX FT (trade name, manufactured by Nireco Corporation) for 128. When the water-dispersed supernatant of the toner was prepared as described above, the concentration of methyl ethyl ketone in the water-dispersed supernatant measured by the above method was 5 ppm, and the concentration of methyl ethyl ketone in the water-dispersed supern...

Abstract

A toner for developing an electrostatic charge image, the toner including a binder resin containing a crystalline polyester resin and a noncrystalline polyester resin, a colorant, a releasing agent, a ketone solvent, and an alcoholic solvent, the total concentration of the ketone solvent and the alcoholic solvent in the toner dispersion liquid being less than about 10 ppm when 0.5 g of the toner is dispersed in 2 g of deionized water to form a toner dispersion liquid, and the total concentration of the ketone solvent and the alcoholic solvent in the toner dispersion liquid being from about 2 ppm to about 50 ppm when 0.5 g of the toner is dispersed in 2 g of N,N-dimethylformamide to form a toner dispersion liquid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a toner for developing an electrostatic latent image, a developer for developing an electrostatic charge image, a toner cartridge, a process cartridge, and an image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] Many electrophotographic methods are known. For example, in one type of electrophotography, a latent image is electrically formed by various methods on a photoreceptor including a photoconductive substance. The latent image is developed with a toner, and the toner image on the photoreceptor is transferred to an image-receiving film such as paper directly or via an intermediate transfer member. The transferred image is fixed, for example, by heating, pressing, heating and pressing, solvent vapor, or the like. A fixed image is formed through the above-described plurality of steps. The toner remaining on the photoreceptor is removed by various methods as necessary, and the cycle including the above steps is re...
