Abstract
A process for cleaning imaging members which comprises applying thereto subsequent to the formation and development of images a composition comprised of resin particles, carbon black particles, magnetite, charge additive, or a mixture of charge additives, and a wax component comprised of polymeric alcohols of the formula CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.n CH.sub.2 OH wherein n is a number of from about 30 to about 300, and thereafter removing said composition.
Claims14
A process for cleaning imaging members consisting essentially of forming an electrostatic latent image on the said member, developing the image with a toner composition consisting essentially of resin particles, carbon black particles, magnetite, charge additive, or a mixture of charge additives, and a wax component comprised of an alcohol of the formula
- CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.n CH.sub.2 OH
- wherein n is a number of from about 30 to about 300, thereafter transferring the developed image to a suitable substrate, subsequently applying to the surface of the imaging member a toner consisting essentially of resin particles, carbon black particles, magnetite, charge additive, or a mixture of charge additives and said alcohol, thereafter transferring said toner to paper whereby there is removed from the imaging members debris of magnetite by attraction to the wax component and subsequent adherence of said debris to said toner.
