A black toner composition comprising toner particles prepared by a chemical process of manufacture comprising carbon black pigment, a first addition polymer comprising carboxylic acid groups along the polymer backbone, and a thermoplastic second polymer binder distinct from the first polymer, wherein the first polymer has an Acid Value of from 30 to 220 and is present at a weight ratio of greater than 1:2 relative to the amount of carbon, and at a relatively lower weight percent than the second polymer. A process for preparation of such toner particles comprising: preparing a masterbatch comprising a carbon black and a first addition polymer comprising carboxylic acid groups along the polymer backbone and having an Acid Value of from 30 to 220, where the first polymer is present at a weight ratio of greater than 1:2 relative to the amount of carbon; dissolving a thermoplastic second polymer binder in an organic solvent; adding the masterbatch to the solution of second polymer binder to form an organic phase, wherein the first polymer is present at a lower weight percent than the second polymer; dispersing the organic phase in an aqueous phase comprising a particulate stabilizer to form a dispersion; and removing the solvent from the organic phase to form toner particles comprising the first polymer, the second polymer binder and carbon black. |
