A Breakthrough in Printing Technology

Laser toner with nanoparticles is the new invention in printing technology made by the Xerox researchers that receives "Award for Team Innovation" from the American Chemical Society. The research group was presented with the award back in March 2011 for this new kind of innovation that they produced.

The Emulsion Aggregation (EA) toner is the new invention that they generated, it is a fine ink powder that looks like a typical toner used in laser printers. So what makes the EA more special compare to a regular toner?

This newly released innovation can produced higher quality and more sharper color, it cuts the use of electricity by 30%, reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide and it lessen the cost of laser printing to help you save money.

Xerox is aiming to help every businesses and other customers to improve their printing experience and at the same time reduce their bills.

So, how exactly they made this new breakthrough and printing process?

Traditionally the process of toner printing involves the melting of polymer with pigment in it, to make it solidify, then grinding down to a powder. But Xerox found out that using much smaller size of particle (nanoparticle) will use less ink per page. But the problem is grinding the powder into smaller pieces will require more energy to eliminate the advantage of the smaller particles.

Eventually they figured out, Instead of using a machine to break down the material into powder, they (the researchers) thought about reversing the process by making a powder through the use of nanoparticle and a chemical process.

But if you want quality toner cartridges at a price that you can afford you can buy remanufactured Dell toner cartridges online.
