Description
TWO-COLOR DEVELOPER FOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a two-color developer for electrophotography. More particularly, it relates to a developer for two-color electrophotographic process in which a charged electrophotographic photoreceptor is successively exposed to light followed by development to form a two-color toner image thereon, which is then transferred all at once to a transfer medium and fixed thereon.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Copying machines using a color developer have recently been developed. For example, a color copying system for providing a two-color image is known, which comprises the steps of carrying out the first exposure and development on a photoreceptor to transfer the first toner image to a copying paper and fix thereon, retaining the copying paper in a copying machine, and then carrying out the second exposure and development on the photoreceptor to transfer the second toner image to the copying paper and fix thereon. This color copying system, however, had a disadvantage of requiring a long time for copying since the steps of exposure, development, and transfer are repeated for each developer.
It has hence been proposed to obtain a color copy by repeating exposure and development for each of two developers of different colors to form a two-color toner image on a photoreceptor and then transfermas the toner image to a transfer medium all at once as disclosed in JP-A-1-287581 (the term "JP-A" as used herein means an "unexamined published
Japanese patent application However, since the above-described system adopt contact development such as magnetic brush development, the toner image formed on a photoreceptor by a first developer undergoes disturbance due to abrasion at the time of second development only to produce an image of deteriorated quality.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a two-color developer for electrophotography which eliminates the above-described disadvantage.
That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a two-color developer for electrophotography with which second development can be carried out without disturbing a first toner image.
The present invention relates to a two-color developer for two-color electrophotographic process comprising repeating exposure and development on a charged photoreceptor for each of a first developer and a second developer to form a two-color toner image on the photoreceptor and transferring the toner image to a transfer medium all at once for fixing, (1) said first developer providing a first toner image being chargeable to have a higher charge quantity in absolute value than that of the second developer, or (2) a toner of said first developer providing a first toner image having a smaller volume average particle size than that of a toner of the second developer.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
According to the first embodiment of the present invention, since the first developer charged to a higher charge quantity in absolute value than the second developer adheres to a photoreceptor more strongly, the first toner image formed on the photoreceptor undergoes no disturbance on second contact development.
The difference in charge quantity between the first and second developers is preferably at least 3 c/g in absolute value, arA more preferably 5 pc/g to 25 rc/g. It is preferable to control the charge quantity of the first developer within a range of from 10 to 30 Ac/g in absolute value for obtaining a satisfactory image. If the charge quantity of the first developer is less than 10 pc/g in absolute value, that of the second developer should be less than 7 rc/g in absolute value for making a difference of 3 pc/g. This being the case, disadvantages would result such that the second image has an excessive density or suffers from fog on the non-image area.
On the other hand, if the charge quantity of the first developer is more than 30 pc/g in absolute value, a sufficient first image density cannot be obtained. If the difference of charge quantity between the first and second developers is smaller than 3 pc/g in absolute value even with the charge quantity of the former developer falling within the above recited range, the first image is apt to suffer from an increase in line thickness and the like, resulting in deterioration of image quality.
The first and second developers may have the same polarity, but it is desirable that they are charged to opposite polarities in order to prevent a toner of one color from entering into a developing machine of the other color and undergoing re-development.
Methods for controlling charge quantity of the developer are not restricted. For example, the charge quantity can be controlled appropriately by selecting the kind and amount of a charge control agent in toner particles or an externally supplied additive, the kind of a binder resin in toner particles, or the kind of a carrier.
In the present invention, the charge quantity of developers was measured by means of a charge quantity measuring apparatus manufactured by TB-200 manufactured by Toshiba
Chemical Co., Ltd.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, the toner of the first developer has a volume average particle size (D1) smaller than the volume average particle size (D2) of a toner of the second developer to decrease the toner layer thickness of the first toner image thereby to prevent disturbance of the first toner image on second contact development such as magnetic brush development with the second developer.
The volume average particle sizes of the toners D1 and
D2 are preferably related so as to satisfy the following formulae (I) and (II): 4.0 m ' D1 < D2 b 20 m (I)
D2 - D1 # 1.0 m (II)
In the formula (I), D1 is less than 4.0 m, charge control of the toner of the first developer is difficult, failing to obtain a stable image. Further, if both D1 and D2 are more than 20 m, the resulting image has deteriorated graininess. In the formula (II), if the difference between D2 and D1 is less than 1.0 m, image disturbance cannot be sufficiently prevented.
Dl and D2 are more preferably related so as to satisfy the above formula (II) and the following formula (I'):
7.0 m # D1 # D2 # 18 m (I')
In the present invention, the volume average particle size of toners was measured by means of a Coulter counter,
Model TA-II manufactured by Nikkaki K.K.
The developer which can be used in the present invention comprises a toner and a carrier. The toner can be prepared.by coating colored particles with externally supplied additives.
The colored particles mainly comprise a colorant and a binder resin. Any of general thermoplastic resins is employable as a binder resin. Examples of suitable binder resins include homo- and co-polymers of styrene or derivatives thereof, e.g., chiorostyrene; monoolefins, e.g., ethylene, propylene, butylene, and isobutylene; vinyl esters, e.g., vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl benzoate, and vinyl butyrate; amethylene aliphatic monocarboxylic acid esters, e.g., methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, dodecyl acrylate, octyl acrylate, phenyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, and dodecyl methacrylate; vinyl ethers, e.g., vinyl methyl ether, vinyl ethyl ether, and vinyl butyl ether; and vinyl ketones, e.g., vinyl methyl ketone, vinyl hexyl ketone, and vinyl isopropenyl ketone.
Typical examples of these binder resins are polystyrene, a styrene-alkyl acrylate copolymer, a styrene-alkyl methacrylate copolymer, a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, a styrenebutadiene copolymer, a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, polyethylene, and polypropylene. Further included in usable binder resins are polyester, polyurethane, epoxy resins, silicone resins, polyamide, modified rosin, paraffin, and waxes.
Colorants which can be used in the present invention are not particularly limited. Typical examples of suitable colorants are carbon black, nigrosine dyes, Aniline Blue, calcoil Blue, Chrome Yellow, Ultramarine Blue, Du Pont Oil Red,
Quinoline Yellow, Methylene Blue chloride, Phthalocyanine Blue,
Malachite Green oxalate, lamp black, Rose Bengale, C.I. Pigment
Red 48:1, C.I. Pigment Red 122, C.I. Pigment Red 57:1, C.I.
Pigment Yellow 97, C.I. Pigment Yellow 12, C.I. Pigment Blue 15:1, and C.I. Pigment Blue 15:3.
The colored particles may contain a general charge control agent. Typical examples of suitable charge control agents include dyes, e.g., chromium-containing dyes, and those having an ionic structure, e.g., cetyl pyridinium chloride and potassium tetraphenylborate.
A volume average particle size of the colored particles is not greater than about 30 zm, and preferably from 3 to 20 zm.
A silica fine powder may be added to the colored particles. The silica .fine powder includes not only silica fine powder itself but silicon disulfide particles disclosed in
JP-B-54-16219 (the term "JP-B" as used herein means an "examined Japanese patent publication") in which silicon atoms with 1 to 3 organic groups directly bonded thereto via an Si-C bond are chemically bonded via an Si-O-Si bond, said silicon atoms being present on the surface thereof. The silica fine particles may be subjected to surface treatment for rendering the surface thereof hydrophobic.
A cleaning aid or a charge control agent may also be added to the colored particles. Specific but non-limiting examples of suitable cleaning aids include a polyvinylidene fluoride powder and a polymethyl methacrylate powder. Specific examples of suitable charge control agent include tin oxide.
Carrier particles which can be used in the present invention include particles of iron, nickel, cobalt, iron oxide, ferrite, glass beads, granular silicone, etc. each of which has an average particle size of 500 pm or less.
These particles may be coated with a fluorine resin, a silicone resin. etc.
The first and second toners used in the present invention are preferably charged to opposite polarities each other.
According to the first embodiment of the present invention, disturbances of the first image during second contact development, such as an increase in line thickness, can be prevented to provide a two-color image of satisfactory quality while assuring a sufficient image density.
According to the second embodiment of the present invention, since the thickness of the toner image formed by first development can be reduced, disturbances of the first image during second contact development can be avoided to provide a two-color image of satisfactory quality.
The present invention is now illustrated in greater detail with reference to Examples, but it should be understood that the present invention is not deemed to be limited thereto.
All the parts, percents, and parts are by weight unless otherwise specified.

The black developer was used in combination with the same blue developer for first development as obtained in
Example 1.
Cotv Test:
Charge quantity of each of the developers prepared in
Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 was measured.
Then, each developer was loaded on a first developing machine and a second developing machine of a copying machine shown in
Fig. 9 of JP-A-1-287581 under 250C and 60% R.H., and copy test was carried out by using a test chart composed of a line image part and a solid image part having a density of 1.0 as original. Copied samples were evaluated according to the following evaluation, and the results obtained are shown in
Table 1 below.
Increase in Line Thickness:
Thickness of a line of the image formed by first development was measured and compared with that of the original. An increase in line thickness was calculated from:
[(Thickness of Line in Copied Image)/(Thickness of Line
in Original) - 1] x 100
Image Density:
A solid original having a density of 1.0 as measured with a Macbeth densitometer was used. Image density of the image formed by first development was measured with the same densitometer.
Image Quality: The term "Good" in image quality means that the increase in line thickness of first development is not more than 10% and the image density of first development is at least 0.9. When the increase in line thickness or the image density is out of the above "good" range, image quality is regarded as "Bad".

Example 3
The following considerations can be derived from the
results in Table 1.
In Example 1, the increase in line thickness in the
first image over the original is very slight, and the density
of the first image is sufficient.
In Example 2, the first image has an acceptable density,
and the increase in line thickness is very slight.
In Example 3, the increase in line thickness in the
first image is within an allowable range, and the density of
the first image is sufficient.
In Comparative Example 1, because the charge quantity
of the first developer is as low as -6 pc/g, the line in the
first image shows a considerable increase over the original.
In Comparative Example 2, because the charge quantity of the first developer is as high as -38 Rc/g, a sufficient image density cannot be obtained.
In Comparative Example 3, because the difference in charge quantity between the first and second developers is as small as 2 rc/g in absolute value, the line in the first image shows a considerable increase over the original.
