Process for making an ink jet ink

A nonconductive toner composition comprising monodisperse spherical particles includes a binder polymer, a charge control agent, and an aliphatic acid or aliphatic amide uniformly distributed in the particles and present in an amount of 2.5 to 30% by weight of the toner composition. A method of forming a toner particle composition comprises the steps of: milling an aliphatic amide or an aliphatic acid in the presence of a binder polymer and a water-immiscible organic binder solvent to form a concentrate wherein the particle size of the aliphatic amide or aliphatic acid is less than one micrometer; dissolving a binder polymer and a charge control agent in a water-immiscible organic binder solvent to form a binder solution; mixing the aliphatic amide or aliphatic acid concentrate with the binder solution to form an aliphatic amide- or aliphatic acid-binder polymer dispersion; dispersing the aliphatic amide- or aliphatic acid-binder polymer dispersion in water containing a colloidal stabilizer to form an aqueous suspension of droplets; subjecting the droplets to shearing action to reduce droplet size and form limited coalescence particles; removing the water-immiscible organic binder solvent from the limited coalescence particles to form toner particles in an aqueous medium; and drying the toner particles.

An electrographic liquid developer includes a fluorescent toner diluted in a liquid developer vehicle which has a high flash point and a low vapor pressure. The liquid developer vehicle preferably is a mixed liquid alkane which has a flash point over 140.degree. F. and a vapor pressure less than 5.2 mm of mercury at 38.degree. C. The fluorescent toner is preferably made as follows: a solution is prepared which comprises an organic solvent, a fluorescent dye, and an organic polymer. A pigment is precipitated by mixing the solution with a non-solvent for the polymer in the presence of a dispersant. The pigment is melt-compounded with a polymeric organic binder and the melt-compounded mixture is comminuted.

A method is described for the preparation of electrostatographic toner particles which involves the use of carnauba wax for treating the surface of a pigment employed The method involves recrystallizing carnauba wax from its natural state by dissolution in ethyl acetate and cooling to precipitate needle like structures The structures so obtained are then added to a mixture comprising a pigment, a polymer material, a solvent and optionally a charge control agent which mixture serves as the organic phase in a limited coalescence process. The toner particles produced in accordance with this method are non spherical in nature and evidence excellent fluidity and anti-blocking properties.
