Description

Fixing process in the electrographic printer requires the use of a release agent such as silicone oil to prevent the adhesion of the toner of the hot roll surface. However, this method requires an oil tank and an oil coating device, thus the device becomes complex and large. Oil-less type of image forming devices have been developed that do not use release oil in the fixing device. Instead of using release oil, a release agent like paraffin wax is added within the toner formulation. In recent years, paraffin wax has been one of the most important components of monochrome and full-color toners in the electrographic printer. Essential properties in paraffin wax for the toners are melting point, penetration, viscosity, and so on.
