Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, the above-mentioned toners produced using condensed salts or electrolytes are generally poor in environmental stability, or when the condensed particles form a shell, the shell layer is unevenly covered or the fusion between particles is insufficient, so that occurrences such as bleeding of the release material out of question
Also, in many cases, the smoothness of the toner surface is insufficient, increasing the possibility of occurrence of charging uniformity problems
When heating and fusion are promoted, redistribution of constituent materials is likely to occur, and as a result, there is still the possibility of uneven coating of the shell

Embodiment 1

[0323]

[0324] Put 24 parts of [polyester resin 1], 8 parts of paraffin (melting point: 72°C), and 96 parts of ethyl acetate in a container with a stirring rod and a thermometer, raise the temperature to 80°C under stirring, and keep it at 80°C After 5 hours, cool to 30° C. within 1 hour. Next, add 35 parts of [Master Batch 1], mix for 1 hour, replace the container, and use a bead mill (Ultrabeadmill, manufactured by IMEX Co. Ltd.) to disperse under the following conditions, that is, the infusion rate is 1kg / hr, Speed ​​6m / sec, filling 0.5mm zirconia grinding beads 80% by volume, and 3 channels to obtain [raw material solution 1]. Next, 76.5 parts of a 70% ethyl acetate solution of [polyester 1] was added to 81.5 parts of [raw material solution 1], and stirred for 2 hours with a Sany motor to obtain [oil phase 1]. Ethyl acetate was added to [Oil Phase 1], and the solid content concentration therein (measured at 130° C., 30 min) was adjusted to 50%.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a toner, a method of manufacturing the same, an image forming apparatus and an image forming method. The aim of the invention is to provide the toner with the advantages of good environment stability, good uniformity on chargeability, and a good balance between the fixing property and the heat resistance. The toner of the invention has a structure of core and contains at least two kinds of resins having a polyester skeleton and a releasing agent. The invention is characterized in that no peak that derives from magnesium, calcium, or aluminum in the mother toner particle is observed in a qualitative analysis using an X-ray fluorescence measuring instrument. Preferably the core particle which forms the structure of core comprises a first resin having a first polyester skeleton, and the core material which covers the core particle contains a second resin that is different from the first resin and has a second polyester skeleton.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a toner used in an electrophotographic method, and further relates to a toner container using the toner, a developer, a developing device, a process cartridge, an image forming apparatus, an image forming method, and production of the toner method. Background technique [0002] So far, various creative improvements and technical attempts have been made in the research and development of electrophotography. In the electrophotographic method, after the latent image carrier (hereinafter also referred to as photoreceptor) is charged to charge its surface, the electrostatic latent image formed by exposure is developed with colored toner to form a toner image, and then The toner image is transferred to a transfer target such as transfer paper, and fixed by a heating roller or the like to form an image. [0003] For toner fixing, a contact heating fixing method such as a heating roller fixing method is widely used. The fixi...
