| 20080318143 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND PROCESS CARTRIDGE - An image forming apparatus including a charging unit, an exposing unit, a developing unit, a transferring unit, and a fixing unit. A toner containing a colorant and a binder resin which contains a polyester resin (A) and a polyester resin (B) having a softening point 10° C. or more higher than that of the polyester resin (A); the polyester resin (A) is a (meth)acrylic acid-modified rosin derived resin having a polyester unit obtained by polycondensation of an alcohol component, which contains 65 mol % or more of 1,2-propanediol in a dihydric alcohol component, and a carboxylic acid component containing a (meth)acrylic acid-modified rosin; the polyester resin (B) is a purified rosin derived resin having a polyester unit obtained by polycondenstation of an alcohol component, which contains a total of 70 mol % or more of 1,2-propanediol and 1,3-propanediol in a dihydric alcohol component, and a carboxylic acid component containing purified rosin. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090003885 | TONER, DEVELOPER, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A toner including a colorant and a binder resin is provided. The binder resin includes a first resin comprising a block X comprising a resin comprising a racemic mixture of optically active monomers of a D-form compound and an L-form compound, and a block Y comprising another resin. The weight ratio of the D-form compound to the L-form compound is from 48/52 to 52/48, and the weight ratio of the block Y to the block X is from 1/3 to 3/1. The toner is obtained by dispersing or emulsifying a toner constituent liquid, in which the colorant and the binder resin are dissolved or dispersed in an organic solvent, in an aqueous medium. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090103950 | TONER, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND PROCESS CARTRIDGE - An image forming apparatus including: a latent electrostatic image bearing member, a charging unit, an exposing unit, a developing unit, a transfer unit, and a fixing unit, wherein the toner contains at least a binder resin and a colorant, the binder resin contains a polyester resin obtained by polycondensation of an alcohol component with a carboxylic acid component containing a rosin compound, the amount of the rosin compound contained in the carboxylic acid component is 5% by mass or more based on the total mass of the alcohol component and carboxylic acid component, and the amount of an abietic acid contained in the toner is 1% by mass or less. | 04-23-2009 |
