System and methods for using toner shape factor to control toner concentration

摘要

System and methods for controlling toner properties in a two component development system through the toner shape factor. In particular, the present embodiments provide a method for controlling toner concentrations by tailoring the circularity value ranges of the toner particles to prevent dysfunctions and provide a more robust and optimized xerographic system.

主权项

1. A method for controlling toner concentration, comprising:
providing a toner comprising toner particles; using the toner in an xerographic system to evaluate toner concentration; and adjusting a shape factor of the toner particles such that a toner concentration of the toner particles stays within from about 9 to about 12 percent of an operating space of the xerographic system.
