Description
A dry, electrostatic powder used for photocopying text or graphics. Xerography, or photoconductive, toner is composed of finely-divided, charged particles of a pigmented powder in a synthetic resin. The image is fixed by fusing the toner to the substrate with a few seconds of high heat. The thermoplastic resin, usually polyester, is sensitive or organic solvents. Black and white as well as color prints are possible using this method. The black pigment is usually Carbon black. Color toners contain organic dyes, such as phthalocyanine, quinacridone, rhodamine, diarylide, and azo. Additional components may be present such as Release agents, surfactants, charge control agents and waxes (Jarry 1999).
