Research and Development

Compared to conventional toner, the polymerization toner realizes a clearer prints of enhanced contours because its particle is fine and uniform in a form.

Substances underlying plastic are coupled through a chemical reaction to produce toner particles. In this method, an effect to reduce an environmental load can be obtained, because the amount of energy used in this method is less than that in the conventional method.

Characteristics: Since the toner particles are produced through the coupling by chemical reaction, the size of particles is smaller than that in conventional particles, and their sizes are uniform.

Plastic materials are heated to be melted, and then, are blown away by a strong air flow while they are cooled again, to hit a wall to be crashed, thus, toner particles are produced.

Characteristics: Compared to polymerization toner, the particle size is larger, and form and size are not uniform.

Compared to conventional toner, the polymerization toner makes it possible to obtain a sharp print, and is a product having less environmental load in an aspect of materials, because the used amount of toner is less.
