Description
本発明は、電子写真法、静電記録法、静電印刷法等において形成される潜像の現像に用いられるマゼンタトナーに関する。 The present invention relates to a magenta toner used for developing a latent image formed in an electrophotographic method, an electrostatic recording method, an electrostatic printing method or the like.
近年、プリント・オン・デマンド市場が成長しているなか、電子写真技術に対する高画質化、高精細化への要求はますます高まりつつある。特に、電子写真方式の印刷でオフセット印刷に置き換わるには、印刷並みの色調や耐光性の向上が必須である。 In recent years, with the growth of the print-on-demand market, there is an increasing demand for higher image quality and higher definition for electrophotographic technology. In particular, in order to replace offset printing with electrophotographic printing, it is essential to improve the color tone and light resistance equivalent to printing.
そこで、マゼンタトナー用顔料としてはいくつか提案されているが、色の鮮明性と透明性に優れ、かつ耐光性にも優れるという点でキナクリドン系の顔料が広く用いられている。例えば、キナクリドン系の顔料を含有したトナーにおいて、顔料の分散性を向上させて発色濃度を向上させることが開示されている(特許文献1参照)。 Thus, some pigments for magenta toner have been proposed, but quinacridone pigments are widely used in terms of excellent color sharpness and transparency, and excellent light resistance. For example, it is disclosed that in a toner containing a quinacridone pigment, the dispersibility of the pigment is improved to improve the color density (see Patent Document 1).
また、紫外線吸収剤である銅化合物を含有するトナーにおいて、トナー中の銅含有量を制御することにより、紫外線照射等による変色又は褪色を抑制する技術が開示されている(特許文献2参照)。 In addition, in a toner containing a copper compound that is an ultraviolet absorber, a technique for suppressing discoloration or fading due to ultraviolet irradiation or the like by controlling the copper content in the toner is disclosed (see Patent Document 2).
一方、スチレン系モノマー:200部、C.I.ピグメントレッド185:16部、サリチル酸アルミニウム:2部、プロピレンオキサイド変性ビスフェノールAとイソフタル酸との重縮合物:7部等からなる重合性単量体組成物を重合して得られたトナーが、臭気がなく、光沢感があり均質な画像を形成できること(特許文献3参照)や、全面縁なし印刷における転写時・定着時の画像弊害を解決できること(特許文献4参照)を開示している。 On the other hand, a polymerizable monomer composition comprising styrene monomer: 200 parts, CI pigment red 185: 16 parts, aluminum salicylate: 2 parts, polycondensate of propylene oxide-modified bisphenol A and isophthalic acid: 7 parts, etc. The toner obtained by polymerization has no odor, can form a glossy and homogeneous image (see Patent Document 3), and can solve the bad effects of images at the time of transfer and fixing in borderless printing (Patent Document) 4).
しかしながら、ポリエステルを主成分としたマゼンタトナーの顔料としてキナクリドン系を使用すると耐光性は良好ではあるが、顔料の分散性が不十分であり、その結果、彩度が低くなる。また、紫外線吸収剤等を併用すると耐光性は向上するが、帯電性に大きな影響を及ぼすため均質な画像が得られないことが判明した。 However, when a quinacridone type is used as a pigment of a magenta toner containing polyester as a main component, the light resistance is good, but the dispersibility of the pigment is insufficient, and as a result, the saturation is lowered. Further, it has been found that when a UV absorber or the like is used in combination, the light resistance is improved, but a uniform image cannot be obtained because the chargeability is greatly affected.
本発明の課題は、高い彩度を有し、耐光性に優れたマゼンダトナーを提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a magenta toner having high saturation and excellent light resistance.
本発明は、結着樹脂、着色剤、荷電制御剤及びワックスを含有してなるマゼンタトナーであって、前記結着樹脂がポリエステルを50重量%以上含有し、該ポリエステルの少なくとも1種がイソフタル酸化合物を含有するカルボン酸成分とアルコール成分とを縮重合させて得られるポリエステルであり、前記着色剤がC.I.ピグメントレッド185を含有し、前記荷電制御剤がサリチル酸化合物の金属錯体を含有し、前記ワックスの融点が50〜120℃であるマゼンタトナーに関する。 The present invention relates to a magenta toner comprising a binder resin, a colorant, a charge control agent, and a wax, wherein the binder resin contains 50% by weight or more of polyester, and at least one of the polyesters is isophthalic acid. A polyester obtained by polycondensing a carboxylic acid component containing a compound and an alcohol component, wherein the colorant contains CI Pigment Red 185, the charge control agent contains a metal complex of a salicylic acid compound, and the wax Relates to a magenta toner having a melting point of 50 to 120 ° C.
本発明のマゼンダトナーは、高い彩度を有し、耐光性に優れた効果を奏するものである。 The magenta toner of the present invention has a high saturation and exhibits an effect of excellent light resistance.
本発明のマゼンタトナーは、結着樹脂、着色剤、荷電制御剤及びワックスを含有してなるマゼンタトナーであって、結着樹脂がポリエステルを50重量%以上含有し、該ポリエステルの少なくとも1種がイソフタル酸化合物を含有するカルボン酸成分とアルコール成分とを縮重合させて得られるポリエステルであり、着色剤がC.I.ピグメントレッド185を含有し、荷電制御剤がサリチル酸化合物の金属錯体を含有し、前記ワックスの融点が50〜120℃である点に大きな特徴を有しており、高い彩度を持ち、耐光性に優れた効果を奏するものである。 The magenta toner of the present invention is a magenta toner comprising a binder resin, a colorant, a charge control agent and a wax, wherein the binder resin contains 50% by weight or more of polyester, and at least one of the polyesters is A polyester obtained by polycondensation of a carboxylic acid component containing an isophthalic acid compound and an alcohol component, a colorant containing CI Pigment Red 185, a charge control agent containing a metal complex of a salicylic acid compound, and the wax It has a great feature in that its melting point is 50 to 120 ° C., has high saturation, and exhibits excellent light resistance.
本発明の効果が奏される理由の詳細は明らかではないが、イソフタル酸化合物を用いたポリエステルとサリチル酸化合物の金属錯体と特定の融点を持つワックスとの相互作用により、結着樹脂、着色剤、荷電制御剤、ワックス等を含有するトナー原料組成物の粘度が高くなり、溶融混練時における着色剤の分散が良好となるものと推定される。着色剤が結着樹脂中に良好に分散されることにより、彩度及び耐光性が向上する。さらに、本発明者らは、着色剤であるC.I.ピグメントレッド185自身の耐光性、及びイソフタル酸化合物を用いたポリエステル自身の耐光性が良好であることを見出し、これにより、さらにトナーの耐光性が向上するものと考えられる。 Although the details of the reason why the effect of the present invention is achieved are not clear, due to the interaction between the polyester using the isophthalic acid compound and the metal complex of the salicylic acid compound and the wax having a specific melting point, the binder resin, the colorant, It is presumed that the viscosity of the toner raw material composition containing a charge control agent, wax and the like is increased, and the colorant is favorably dispersed during melt kneading. By satisfactorily dispersing the colorant in the binder resin, saturation and light resistance are improved. Further, the present inventors have found that CI Pigment Red 185 itself, which is a colorant, has good light resistance, and that polyester using an isophthalic acid compound has good light resistance, thereby further improving the light resistance of the toner. It is thought to improve.
