Physical and Chemical Properties of Color Toner
Mobility: Toner has fluidity, which directly affects the print quality. Poor fluidity can lead to uneven printing results.
Particle Distribution: The smoothness of toner particles plays a key role in determining the quality of the toner. The smoother the particle surface, the better the toner flows. When the toner bottle is shaken, it behaves more like a liquid due to its smooth, flowing consistency.
Melting Point: The optimal temperature for printing is generally around 80°C. If the temperature exceeds this, the toner’s ability to fuse properly onto the paper weakens, resulting in residual ash on the paper. Conversely, if the temperature falls below 80°C, particularly around 70°C, the printed text may become distorted. Whether too high or too low, improper temperature settings can lead to issues with paper rolling.
Ghosting and Other Issues: Occasionally, ghosting can occur, with a typical spacing between duplicate characters of 120.56 mm. However, this is relatively rare. More commonly, folding or double-imaging is visible in copies, often caused by issues with the photosensitive drum.
