AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

After improving the low-temperature fixability, existing toners still have the problem of insufficient scratch resistance, especially in the part with low image density where toner migration is likely to occur.

Method used

By introducing calcium carbonate particles with a specific crystal structure into the colorant particles and utilizing the strong interaction between the calcium carbonate particles and the binder resin, the cohesion of the toner is enhanced. Specific measures include controlling the crystallite diameter and peak intensity ratio of the calcium carbonate particles, and enhancing the contact between the step surface of the calcium carbonate particles and the binder resin through melt mixing and mechanical crushing.

Benefits of technology

It achieves good fixing performance of the toner at low temperatures, while improving the scratch resistance and preventing the migration of toner in the low-density part of the image, meeting the needs of high-speed printing and printing on a variety of media.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a toner. A toner having high resistance to wiping is provided. A toner including toner particles containing a binder resin and calcium carbonate particles, wherein in X-ray diffraction of the toner particles by CuKα rays, the calcium carbonate particles satisfy the following conditions, when a Bragg angle is defined as θ, (i) peaks are present at 2θ of 26.5°±0.5° and 29.5°±0.5°, (ii) a crystallite diameter attributed to crystals at 2θ=29.5°±0.5° is 10 nm or more and 45 nm or less, and (iii) a ratio (a / b) of a peak intensity "a" at 2θ=26.5°±0.5° to a peak intensity "b" at 2θ=29.5°±0.5° is 0.15 or more and 0.24 or less.
