AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing toners with external additives of opposite polarity to the toner matrix particles detach easily under low temperature and low humidity conditions, leading to reduced charge and fogging issues.

Method used

The use of silica particles with a specific shape index of 2.0 or higher, opposite in charge polarity to the toner matrix particles, which adhere firmly due to electrostatic force, reducing detachment and silica particle rolling.

Benefits of technology

The solution effectively suppresses fogging under low temperature and low humidity conditions by maintaining charge stability and preventing silica particle detachment from the toner matrix.
