PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide compositions and methods for reducing the overall cost of a toner in toner particle production by substituting a fraction of a polyester latex with a poly(styrene/acrylate) latex.SOLUTION: A toner includes: a core including a homogenized mixture of a first polyester latex, a styrene/acrylate latex, and a compatibilizing agent latex that includes a graft polyester-styrene/acrylate copolymer; and a shell that includes a polyester latex. A process includes (1) homogenizing a mixture to form a plurality of core particles, the mixture including a first polyester latex, a styrene/acrylate latex, and a compatibilizing agent latex comprising a graft polyester-styrene/acrylate copolymer and (2) adding a shell polyester latex to the plurality of core particles to form a plurality of core-shell structures.SELECTED DRAWING: None |
