Abstract
A process having a step of radiating toner with electron beam radiation, wherein the radiation results in curing the toner is disclosed. A toner curing process is disclosed wherein toner is radiated, wherein the toner comprises at least one resin and at least one colorant, and wherein the toner is generated by an emulsion aggregation coalescence method. A method for crosslinking toner particles is disclosed wherein toner particles formed by an emulsion aggregation process are radiated with electron beam radiation, and wherein the toner particles contain at least one resin with crosslinkable functional groups.
Claims19
