WET ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC TONER COMPOSITION CONTAINING AMPHIPHILIC COPOLYMER, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE TONER COMPOSITION, AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING METHOD USING THE TONER COMPOSITION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wet toner composition usable in the field of electrophotography. SOLUTION: The organosol wet toner composition contains binder particles dispersed in a nonaqueous liquid carrier, wherein the particles are derived from components including one or more crosslinkable amphiphilic copolymers. The organosol is readily miscible with additional components such as one or more vision improving additives and other necessary components and forms the wet toner composition through a mixing step. A method for manufacturing a wet toner derived from the above organosol and a printing method by an electrophotographic process are also described. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
