Methods of making fluorescent metallic toners are provided which comprise forming one or more fluorescent latexes which comprise a fluorescent agent, a first type of amorphous resin, and a second type of amorphous resin, wherein the first and second types of amorphous resins are present at a ratio in a range of from 2:3 to 3:2; forming a mixture comprising the one or more fluorescent latexes; a dispersion comprising aluminum flakes and a surfactant; one or more emulsions which comprise a crystalline resin, the first type of amorphous resin, the second type of amorphous resin; and optionally, a wax dispersion; aggregating the mixture to form particles of a predetermined size; forming a shell over the particles of the predetermined size to form core-shell particles; and coalescing the core-shell particles to form a fluorescent metallic toner. Fluorescent metallic toners and methods of using such toners are also provided.

The present invention relates to an electrostatic charge image developing toner having a ratio of TP2/TP1 of 1.47 to 2.35, wherein a first measurement value of a tan δ maximal value measured in 40° C. to 80° C. by a rheometer is set as the TP1, and a second measurement value of a tan δ maximal value measured in 40° C. to 80° C. by the rheometer is set as the TP2.

A toner comprising a toner particle that comprises a core particle comprising a binder resin and a surface layer comprising inorganic fine particles and an organosilicon polymer, wherein the organosilicon polymer has T3 structure represented by R—Si(O.sub.1/2).sub.3, in .sup.29Si-NMR measurement of THF insoluble-matter of the toner particle, a proportion of a peak area assigned to the T3 structure relative to a total peak area for the organosilicon polymer is at least 5.0%, and in observation of a cross section of the toner particle using TEM, the toner has a prescribed surface layer thickness, a prescribed number of inorganic fine particles in contact with the core particle in the surface layer, and a prescribed number of inorganic fine particles present in the core particle and not in contact with the surface layer.

An example toner having a plurality of toner particles is provided. The toner particles include a core particle including a binder resin, a colorant, and a releasing agent, and an external additive to attach to a surface of the core particle, the external additive including silica particles and tin oxide particles.

The present disclosure relates to a polyester chemically produced toner composition including a core shell toner particle having special surface features and method to make the same. The special surface features on the outer surface of the core shell toner particle are created by the incorporation of a specially designed latex having styrene and acrylate monomers into the core of the toner particle wherein the latex in the core is tailored to be incompatible with the polyester resin(s) found in the core of the toner particle. The final ratio of the monomers in the latex to the surfactant in the latex is approximately 1:5. This ratio is key in maintaining a stable dispersion and is influenced by the particle size in the dispersion and surfactant chemistries.
