Disclosed is an oil-less toner composition exhibiting good low temperature
release and stripping in fixing, enhanced surface gloss of fixed image,
and/or OHP transparency. By controlling one or more properties, such as
the relative thermal energy input during the EA aggregation/coalescence
process, using a wax having a certain dispersion size (D50), molecular
weight and/or melting temperature, the toner particle produced thereby
can achieve optimal surface wax protrusion with a surface wax content of
about 12 to about 25 weight percent. This is based on the total amount of
wax in the toner, as determined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(XPS). The contamination of wax on developing rolls, photoreceptor and
carriers, which lowers the reliability of the developer, is suppressed
with the present exemplary embodiment.
