Chemical Toners

Chemical (or polymerised toners/chemically produced toners (CPT)) offer exciting possibilities to the laser printing and digital copying industry and are especially suited to new colour applications.

Our range of PRO-COLOR™ polymerised toners are manufactured using a proprietary aggregation process
which generates particles of a defined size and shape avoiding the melt-extrusion, grinding and classification
steps involved in conventional toner manufacture.

PRO-COLOR™ toners offer a number of potential benefits for OEMs re-manufacturers and end-users as a result
of the properties and technical features that can be achieved by our flexible CPT technology.

 

Reduced printing costs:

• Maximum number of prints per kg of toner (i.e. less waste)
• simplicity of machine design (e.g. oil-less fusion, cleaner-less system)
• lower energy costs (e.g. for fusion)

 

Improved print quality:

• high image resolution
• high transparency
• uniform area coverage
• consistent and reproducible colour
• stability across a print run
• wide colour gamut potential
• ability to print on different substrates
