USE OF IMPROVED CYAN PIGMENTS IN ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC TONERS AND DEVELOPERS, POWDER COATINGS AND INKJET INKS

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of a CuPc composition consisting essentially of CuPc, e.g., C.I. Pigment Blue 15:3, and a hydroxymethylphthalimido CuPc, as a colorant in electrophotographic toners and developers, powders and powder coating materials, electret materials, inkjet inks, and color filters, wherein the phthalocyanines have a particle morphology with an average length-to-width ratio of more than 2.5:1.
