Chemically Produced Toner

Chemically produced toner, also known as chemically-grown toner (CGT) or polymerised toner, is a more recent advancement in toner technology. It is manufactured through a chemical process, and the toner particles are chemically grown to precise shapes and sizes. The key features of chemically produced toner are:

  • Particle Shape: Chemically produced toner particles have uniform shapes and sizes, with smoother surfaces and rounded edges.
  • Production Process: The production of chemically produced toner involves chemical reactions that create toner particles with controlled characteristics, resulting in more consistent quality.
  • Fusing Process: Due to their uniform shape and smoother surfaces, chemically produced toner particles fuse at lower temperatures and pressures compared to pulverized toner. This leads to reduced energy consumption during the fusing process.
