Description

Image processing system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the image processing system that the bad generation of image is inhibited.Even particularly relate to the electro-mechanical part that uses the contact electrification mode, also be difficult for scratching or damage the hot sticky bad image processing system be inhibited of image that waits of toner.
Background technology
The Electrophtography photosensor of the image processing system of electrofax mode has inorganic photoreceptor and Organophotoreceptor, inorganic photoreceptor possesses the photographic layer that contains the inorganic material such as selenium, and Organophotoreceptor possesses the photographic layer of organic materials such as mainly containing resin glue, charge generating, charge transport agent.
Compare with inorganic photoreceptor, because Organophotoreceptor easily manufactures, can select from the material of wide region the degree of freedom of material, design of photographic layer high, be used widely so possess the image processing system of Organophotoreceptor.
On the other hand, consider from the long lifetime of realizing photoreceptor, the purpose of considering working environment in recent years, in order to suppress the ozone generating of photoreceptor when charged, as making the charged method of photoreceptor, adopt the situation of contact electrification mode to increase.
Yet, although Organophotoreceptor has above-mentioned advantage, on the other hand, because common organic material is mostly soft material, so easy to wear because of Reusability, while using the electro-mechanical part of the contact electrification modes such as charged roller, there is the problem of photosensitive surface noticeable wear.
Therefore, for the image processing system of the electro-mechanical part that adopts the contact electrification mode, the wearability of photoreceptor is improved and carried out numerous research.
Yet, when Organophotoreceptor is not easy to wear, photosensitive surface does not upgrade because of wearing and tearing, therefore toner or the contained composition of toner as developer easily remains on photosensitive surface, has the bad problems of image such as image color is abnormal, stitching (image contamination of striated) easily occur.Therefore, the image processing system that the generation that mar proof improves and image is bad of hope exploitation photoreceptor is inhibited.
The method of the problem related to for the image processing system that solve to adopt charged roller as electro-mechanical part, for example proposed the surface of photoreceptor (image-carrier) is supplied with the method for the image-carrier protecting agent that contains fatty acid metal salts and boron nitride in patent documentation 1 (TOHKEMY 2010-039304).
Yet, while utilizing the method that patent documentation 1 puts down in writing, need in image processing system, arrange to supplying with protectant parts of photosensitive surface near photoreceptor.
Therefore, while utilizing the image processing system that patent documentation 1 puts down in writing, manufacturing cost raises, and hinders the miniaturization of image processing system, so can not be applicable to the miniaturization of image processing system, the market demands of cheap.Thus, hope need not be to the additional special parts of image processing system, and solve the method for the problem of the bad generation of mar proof problem, the image of photoreceptor.
Summary of the invention
The present invention proposes in view of the above problems, and its purpose is, provide without the special parts that add the wearing and tearing for preventing photoreceptor, and the image processing system that the generation that the mar proof of photoreceptor improves, image is bad is inhibited.
A scheme of the present invention is found, at the Electrophtography photosensor possessed as image-carrier, at least contain resin, colorant, the toner of release agent and silicon dioxide, use the development section of this toner, with the Electrophtography photosensor surface is executed in the image processing system of alive charged roller, use forms the Electrophtography photosensor of the photographic layer that contains specific resin glue on conductive base, make the dioxide-containing silica in toner is 2.5 quality %~6 quality % in the quality of toner, the mar proof of photoreceptor improves thus, the bad generation of image is inhibited.
