1、Developments in Toner Technologies to Meet Secure Printing and Global Market Demands,Graham J Galliford Galliford Consulting & Marketing California, USA April 9th, 2015,The Conundrums of Todays Toner Market,How can the toner manufacturing industry continue in significance in tomorrows print industry
2、? The future belongs to those in the toner manufacturing industry that achieve defense and improvement of their profitability and profit with investment in the improvement and innovation in all aspects of their businesses.,The Conundrums of Todays Toner Market,Technology Challenges: New technology d
3、evelopments such as low energy fusing, chemical toners, etc. and the implications of these on the utility of existing infrastructure The impact of Biotoner developments and whether these products are really going to be important in the future. Accessing the opportunities to improve the profitability
4、 of toner manufacturing today by investment in special products, e.g. Gold, Functional, Invisible, Sublimation toners etc.),The Conundrums of Todays Toner Market Technology Challenges,Active patenting of newly developed technology by Ricoh, Brother, Panasonic, HP, Samsung, Xerox /Fuji Xerox, Kodak N
5、ew CPT developments may make it more difficult for any conventional toner to perform in the same way e.g. Low energy fusing chemical toners implications of these on the utility of existing infrastructure because of inability to process toner formulations using mechanical milling/classification techn
6、iques,The Conundrums of Todays Toner Market Technology Challenges,HP Jet Intelligence - Low energy fusing with low melt core shell structure toners Core of toner comprises low melt polymers and waxes for low temperature/energy fixing/fusing Shell is hard polymeric material for toner durability Such
7、low temperature fixing difficult to achieve with polymers for mechanical toners due to melt rheology,The Conundrums of Todays Toner Market Technology Challenges,Also Jet Intelligence cartridges smaller and more robust and “Page Maximiser Technology”. More toner in the cartridge for higher page yield
8、 longer life cartridge Print Gauge Technology in printer uses algorithms to monitor print usage patterns and predict cartridge life more accurately Anti-Fraud Technology identifies used or counterfeit cartridges Auto Seal Removal eliminates need to remove seal when installing a cartridge,The Conundr
9、ums of Todays Toner Market-Importance of Biotoner?,Impression that bio-based toner is environmentally (eco-) friendly not necessarily the case All toners are chemical mixtures Term eco-friendly not well-defined and cannot be meaningfully applied to most industrial products Toner containing bio-deriv
10、ed materials, rather than eco-friendly, may be just less bad for the environment Degree of less badness can be small and ecological contribution of bio-derived materials in toners might be minimal,The Conundrums of Todays Toner Market-Importance of Biotoner?,Is bio-derived material really low in car
11、bon footprint considering all processes involved in growing, transporting and processing Makes a much more complex calculation. Replacement of polymeric material is not a bad thing even though only a small part of the total consumption of the printer is bio-derived However toner doesnt make the cart
12、ridge a completely green product,The Conundrums of Todays Toner Market-Importance of Biotoner?,Example HP4200/4250/4300/4350/4345 Calculation of amount of bio-derived material used Assume use 42Xcartridges 3 year printer life nominal 20,000 pages per month printer would deplete 36 cartridges, total
13、wt. 216 Kg Toner would weigh 37 Kg If toner contains 39% bio-derived resin = 14 Kg of bio-material = c.13.33% of total polymeric cartridge wt. Replaces 14 liters of oil in 3 years printer life,The Conundrums of Todays Toner Market-Importance of Biotoner?,Deinking is an increasingly important issue D
14、einking rests on two major factors toner surface hydrophobicity particle size of the toner suspended in the re-processed pulp Bio toners may be no different from oil based toners in these respects Properties of hydrophobicity and viscoelasticity critical and must be matched for ideal processing and
15、print performance as well as deinking needs Estimated energy saved by using bio based toner with simplification of deinking process Production of higher quality deinked fiber anticipated toner market penetration of 25% gains would result in estimated reduction of 10% power consumed in the deinking p
16、rocess,The Conundrums of Todays Toner Market-Importance of Biotoner?,Typical buyers interested but not motivated just by bio labelling but by commercial realities Biotoners must be as good as or better than competitor products to be really successful.,Interesting CPT biotoner technology from Jadi, Kodak,The Conundrums of Todays Toner Market-Importance of Biotoner?,Jadi Palmotone Bio range includes normal mechanical toner as well as CPT,In CPT latex made by emulsion polymerization of petrochem
