Predicting Relative Humidity Sensitivity of Developer Materials

摘要

A method of predicting a Lewis acid-base relative humidity (RH) ratio in a two-component developer comprised of at least a toner and a carrier including selecting a candidate toner, selecting a candidate carrier, and determining the Lewis acid and Lewis base constants for the candidate toner and candidate carrier. In addition, calculating the Lewis acid-base RH ratio wherein the calculated Lewis acid-base RH ratio is related to a charge RH ratio.
