What is Polymerized Toner?

Polymerized Toner vs. Conventional TonerConventional Toner : Plastic materials (resin, pigment, wax) are melted together and then cooled into a brick, which is me-chanically crushed to form non-uniform toner particles. Polymerized Toner : Toner particles are grown in water using a chemical reaction (aggregation) where we can control the size of the particles, producing smaller uniform toner particles.

Benefits of Polymerized Toner

• Small and uniform toner particles make sharper images and lines - improving resolution.• The higher wax content of Polymerized Toner improves the image gloss and durability. • The printer transfers Polymerized Toner to the paper in a thinner uniform layer, which reduces the waste toner and requires a lower fusing temperature. (reducing power consumption)

• Polymerized Toner is also eco-friendly because it’s manufacturing process emits less CO2 and uses less power.

Benefits of Polymerized Toner

High Image Quality Small size (6.7 ㎛ *) and spherical (circularity** of 0.972) toner particles distribute more uni-formly, which results in better image resolution and accurate colors.

Less Power ConsumptionHigh transfer efficiency creates a thin and uniform toner layer, which allows the printer to create less waste toner and to use a lower fusing temperature (reducing power consumption).

Benefits of Polymerized Toner

Reduction of Paper Curl The fused layer of Chemically Produced Toner is 20% thinner than it is with conventional toner, and the wax layer is twice as thick. Both of these changes decrease paper curl, and reduce the possibility of paper jams occurring in the fuser section.
