Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the electrostatic charge image developing toner having excellent low-temp. fixability, blocking resistance and durability, etc., by specifying the specific surface areas of the toner and base material particles. CONSTITUTION:The specific surface area of the toner is designated as A m<2>/g and the specific surface area of the base material particle as B m<2>/g. These specific surface areas are so determined that the formula I is held. Namely, since the softening point of the binder for the base material particle is as low as <=120 deg.C, the sufficient low-temp. fixability is exhibited by the resulted toner and further, fine resin particles are fixed and applied on the surface of the base material particles by mechanical impact force in the state of satisfying the relation expressed by the formula I and, therefore, the development of the soft characteristics of the base material particle is suppressed. The blocking resistance, filming resistance and flowability are improved in this way.

In order to obtain a visible image as described above, it is necessary to fix the toner image, and conventionally, a heat roller fixing method that has high thermal efficiency and can perform high-speed fixing has been widely adopted. In such a heat roller fixing method, the surface temperature of the heat roller is generally set at 160 to 200°C.
Recently, efforts have been made to (a) prevent thermal deterioration of the photoconductor, and (b) shorten the warm-up time required for the heat roller to rise to a temperature that allows fixing after the fixing device is activated. , (c) Enable continuous copying many times by reducing the temperature drop of the heat roller due to heat absorption into the transfer paper, and (d) Conveyance system due to the occurrence of the curling phenomenon of the transfer paper. Due to requests such as preventing breakdown of
There is a strong demand to be able to perform the fixing process while keeping the temperature of the heat roller lower. Therefore, the toner is also required to be able to be fixed well at low temperatures.

In order to enable fixing at low temperatures, it is necessary to lower the softening point of the toner binder resin, but in this case, blocking phenomenon, filming phenomenon, toner spending on the carrier, and decrease in fluidity and triboelectric charging properties occur. Due to such factors, it was not possible to maintain good developability, cleanability, and image quality over a long period of time.

On the other hand, in order to prevent such filming and blocking phenomena and to improve cleaning properties, fluidity, and charging properties, the following technology containing organic fine particles has been proposed. For example, JP-A-60-186851 and JP-A-60-186852 propose a toner containing acrylic or acrylic-styrene polymerizable fine powder with a smaller average particle size than the toner particles. Since the toner and the polymerizable fine powder are simply mixed, the polymerizable fine powder is easily separated from the toner particles, making it impossible to obtain sufficient filming resistance and blocking resistance. If there is sufficient filming resistance,
If a large amount of fine powder is added to ensure blocking resistance, fluidity will be reduced and durability will also be reduced.

Therefore, in JP-A No. 63-131149, the surface of the heat-fixable base particles has a softening point higher than that of the heat-fixable base particles, and an average particle diameter of 0.1 or more, and This patent discloses a toner in which organic fine particles having an average particle size of 174 or less of the average particle size of the base particles are embedded and coated. However, with this technique, sufficient consideration has not been made as to the extent to which organic fine particles are embedded in base particles, and a satisfactory developer has not yet been obtained. That is, when the buried depth of the organic fine particles becomes smaller, the organic fine particles become more easily released than the base particles, and 11! The organic fine particles adhere to the carrier, the developing sleeve, or the corona wire of the charging, transfer, and separation electrodes, reducing the durability of the formed image agent and causing problems such as density unevenness and poor transfer separation. On the other hand, the buried depth of organic particles increases,
When the organic fine particles are embedded in the base particles, there is a drawback that the filming resistance and blocking resistance are reduced.
