| 20080248415 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AGGREGATE PARTICLES AND TONER - A method of manufacturing aggregate particles capable of obtaining aggregate particles having high mechanical strength, small particle size, with narrow particle size distribution width by preventing interfusion of bubbles in the aggregate particles during stirring is provided. Aggregate particles are manufactured by stirring a resin particle slurry including resin particles dispersed in an aqueous medium and contained in a stirring vessel by a stirring section having a impeller and two or more screen members disposed so as to surround the impeller in the stirring vessel and each formed with a plurality of slits and aggregating the resin particles. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20080298850 | DEVELOPING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - A developing device and an image forming apparatus capable of restraining density irregularity and restraining a decline in image quality caused by adherence of carrier to a photoreceptor, are provided. An angle α is in a range of no less than 45 degrees nor more than 57 degrees, which is formed between a plane comprising a central line of magnetic pole formed by a regulating pole in a magnet roller and a rotating central axis of a developing sleeve and a plane comprising a central line of magnetic pole formed by a pumping pole and a rotating central axis of the developing sleeve. Further, an absolute value of the maximum value of strength of the magnetic pole formed by a main pole is in a range of no less than 120 mT nor more than 140 mT. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090042119 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING TONER PARTICLES, TONER PARTICLES, TWO-COMPONENT DEVELOPER, DEVELOPING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A method of manufacturing toner particles capable of decreasing the manufacturing costs by simplifying the manufacturing apparatus and by decreasing the number of the steps, as well as to provide toner particles, a two-component developer, a developing apparatus and an image forming apparatus are provided. A high-pressure homogenizer is constituted by a tank, a feed pump, a high-pressure pump, a heat exchanger, a nozzle, a first depressurizing module, a cooling unit, a second depressurizing module and a take-out port arranged in this order.

| 20090214240 | DEVELOPING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A developing device capable of improving the image density and the dot reproducibility, and an image forming apparatus including the same are provided. A developing device applies an alternating voltage superimposed on a direct current voltage to a developing roller to thereby develop an electrostatic latent image formed on a photoreceptor with toner. A bias voltage waveform superimposed at this time has an original period (first period) in which each of a development-side electrical potential and an opposite development-side electrical potential is applied one time and a period (second period) in which a Vpp is gradually increased from the initial value to the maximum value. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20100021210 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING COALESCED RESIN PARTICLES, COALESCED RESIN PARTICLES, TONER, TWO-COMPONENT DEVELOPER, DEVELOPING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - There is provided a method of manufacturing coalesced resin particles for obtaining coalesced resin particles by coalescing aggregated resin particles in a grain boundary-free state in a short period of time while keeping a grain size distribution within a narrow range. In a coalescence process, a slurry of aggregated resin particles is flowed through an inside of a pipe under predetermined heating and pressurizing conditions. In a before-cooling decompression process, a slurry of coalesced resin particles flowing through the inside of the pipe in a heat and pressure-applied state is subjected to pressure reduction before it is cooled down to a predetermined temperature in a cooling process. Then, in a decompression process, a coalesced resin particle slurry that has been cooled in the cooling process while being flowed through the inside of the pipe is decompressed to an atmospheric pressure. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100266947 | CAPSULE TONER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING CAPSULE TONER - A capsule toner in which fine solid particles constituting a shell layer are less likely to become detached from the surfaces of toner particles in spite of a long-term use within an image forming apparatus and which is capable of prevention of occurrence of filming on a photoreceptor drum, and a method of manufacturing the capsule toner are provided. The capsule toner includes core particle and shell layers for covering the surface of the core particle. The shell layer is formed of a plurality of fine polyester resin particles. The polyester resins contained in the fine polyester resin particles, respectively, are cross-linked to each other by a cross-linking agent. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110151369 | TONER - Toner having good dispersibility of a pigment and a release agent therein and having excellent low temperature fixability is provided. The toner includes a binder resin, a pigment and a release agent, and the binder resin includes a graft polymer in which abietic acids and a fatty acid are grafted to a polyfunctional epoxy resin. Image is formed using such a toner. | 06-23-2011 |
