BRILLIANT TONER, ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE IMAGE DEVELOPER, AND TONER CARTRIDGE
A brilliant toner includes a toner particle including a binder resin and a flake-shaped brilliant pigment, wherein an amount of a portion insoluble in toluene except for an inorganic substance in the brilliant toner is from 4% by weight to 30% by weight with respect to a total amount of the brilliant toner.
ENGINEERING-GRADE CONSUMABLE MATERIALS FOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHY-BASED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM
A part material for printing three-dimensional parts with an electrophotography-based additive manufacturing system, the part material including a composition having an engineering-grade thermoplastic material and a charge control agent. The part material is provided in a powder form having a controlled particle size, and is configured for use in the electrophotography-based additive manufacturing system having a layer transfusion assembly for printing the three-dimensional parts in a layer-by-layer manner.
Toner, developer, and image forming apparatus
A toner, including: a copolymerization resin, wherein the copolymerization resin includes: a unit derived from a polyester resin including a polycarboxylic acid having a valence of 2 or more and a polyol having a valence of 2 or more; and a unit derived from a resin having a polyhydroxycarboxylic acid skeleton, where the unit derived from the resin having a polyhydroxycarboxylic acid skeleton is bonded to the unit derived from the polyester resin via at least one of a urethane group and a urea group, and wherein the toner has a relative degree of crystallization of 10% or more and less than 50%.
Toner, developer, and image forming apparatus
A toner, wherein the toner has glass transition temperature [Tg1st (toner)] of 20 C. to 50 C., where the glass transition temperature [Tg1st (toner)] is measured in a first heating in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the toner, wherein tetrahydrofuran (THF) insoluble matter of the toner has glass transition temperature [Tg2nd (THF insoluble matter)] of 40 C. to 30 C., where the glass transition temperature [Tg2nd (THF insoluble matter)] is measured in a second heating in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the tetrahydrofuran (THF) insoluble matter, wherein the THF insoluble matter has a storage modulus at 100 C. [G(100) (THF insoluble matter)] of 1.010.sup.5 Pa to 1.010.sup.7 Pa, and wherein a ratio of a storage modulus of the THF insoluble matter at 40 C.
