Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce abrasion of a photosensitive body and to enable a high- quality image to be obtained even after forming a large number of copies by using neutral paper prepared by using, as a filler, calcium carbonate particles coated on the surfaces, or obtained by binding plural particles. CONSTITUTION:The neutral paper is obtained by coating the surfaces of the calcium carbonate particles by surface treatment or binding plural particles with each other, mixing them with pulp, and making paper. As the calcium carbonate, heavy calcium carbonate obtained by crushing limestone, chalk, and so on, and chemically prepared precipitated calcium carbonate can be used, and talc, kaolin, and so on, small in abrasivity can be mixed with the calcium carbonate, thus permitting abrasion of the photosensitive body due to the forms and hardness of the calcium carbonate particles to be prevented by forming a coating layer on the surfaces of the calcium carbonate particles.

In recent years, the paper industry 1 has been expanding the use of neutral papermaking technology, which has been implemented in the fields of thin paper such as indie paper and rice paper, metal laminated paper, anti-rust paper, electrical insulation paper, and special paper such as photographic paper, in printing and printing. There is a growing movement to apply it to the production of high-quality paper for writing. There are two types of neutral papermaking: one that uses an aqueous medium with a pH of 7.0 or more, and one that uses a neutral size as a sizing agent and mainly uses calcium carbonate when all fillers are added.

The main aim of converting high-quality paper to neutral paper is to reduce manufacturing costs by using inexpensive calcium carbonate, which is rich in resources, as a filler, and also to save energy and resources in paper manufacturing, improve productivity, and prevent equipment pollution. The aim is also to improve benefits such as improvement and purification of wastewater. For example, patent application 1986-0

When used in an electrophotographic copying machine, neutral high-quality paper as shown in No. 58-056625 not only has poor paper feeding properties, but also wears out the photoreceptor and degrades copy quality. However, it has been found that there is a serious drawback that shortens the life of the photoreceptor itself. This phenomenon of photoreceptor wear occurs significantly in cleaning blade type copying machines. Furthermore, considering this phenomenon, there is naturally a concern that the rubber rolls, rubber belts, cleaning blades, fixing rolls, etc. used in the paper feeding device may be worn out. Some electrophotographic transfer papers in Europe and the United States are made of neutral paper, and the same phenomenon as described above is observed with such transfer papers. Currently, most high-quality paper and transfer paper for electrophotography are published under JP-A-54-22831.
Although there are acidic papers as disclosed in No. 18740 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 18740/1983, no wear of the photoreceptor was observed with these papers, and the above-mentioned drawbacks were judged to be a problem unique to acid-free paper. Ru.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] The present inventors have discovered that calcium carbonate, which is a filler present in paper powder adhering to a photoreceptor, is pressed and rubbed against the surface of the photoreceptor by a cleaning blade, etc. It was found that wear occurred.

In addition, since calcium carbonate is harder than the Merck and clay fillers used in acidic high-quality paper and electrophotographic transfer paper, it easily wears out the photoreceptor. The present invention was completed based on the discovery that the phenomenon of abrasion of the photoreceptor could be improved by preventing the calcium carbonate particles from directly rubbing against the photoreceptor.

As the calcium carbonate for neutral paper, heavy calcium carbonate obtained by crushing limestone, chalk, etc., and chemically produced precipitated calcium carbonate can be used.Additionally, calcium carbonate is blended with less abrasive Merck, kaolin, etc. It is also possible to do so.

This is a method in which sodium soap or resin dispersion salt is precipitated in combination with an acid, calcium salt, norium salt, or amine salt. The co-70 curation treatment method involves adding, for example, oils, waxes, resins, polymers emulsified or dispersed in calcium carbonate paste, emulsion stains/polymers, and mixed dispersions that are filtered and filtered before separation and drying. It's a method. Also,
The method for creating an easily dispersible structure is to deposit the processing agent around calcium carbonate, soften the processing agent, harden it again, pass through the mouth, dry below the softening point, and transform the raw material coated with processing agent 1 into an open structure. That is. In other words, the processing agent acts like an adhesive between the calcium carbonate particles, producing a ring-like sound that resembles a string of beads.

for at least 20 seconds. In addition, if the transfer paper partially absorbs moisture and swells or curls, the closeness between the copying machine's photoreceptor and the transfer paper will decrease during transfer, resulting in a decrease in copy image density and external omissions in the copy. In order to prevent this, more preferable suitability for electrophotographic copying machines can be obtained by setting the moisture content of the paper to 4.0 to 5.5 inches and wrapping the paper in moisture-proof wrapping paper to prevent moisture absorption and desorption during storage.
