The present invention relates to a method for combining extra particulate
additive with toner. The method includes mixing toner and extra
particulate additive in a conical mixer having temperature control. The
toner may contain polymeric material having a glass transition
temperature (Tg) and the mixing may be carried out wherein the
temperature of the mixture is maintained at a temperature less than Tg.
The above method may also be applied to a toner formulation that has
first undergone a rounding operation.
