Xerox – Its Journey with Ink
Chester Carlson inventor of xerography founded the Haloid Company on 18 April 1935. The company produces and sells photo paper! It was in Rochester New York.
In 1942, Carlson has received U.S. Patent No. 2,297,691, Oct. 6 for electrophotography, later called xerography, the technology that has revolutionized the world of imaging.
Xerox, as we now know, was a trademark in 1948, when Haloid and Battelle Development Corp. announced the development of xerography.
The first Model A copier or Ox-Box, was based on xerography, the world of Xerox in the year 1949 gave! Today, manufactures office printers and home printers and high-volume, wide format printers and digital presses and afcoarse all shipments with these devices Go! They also offer services such as document management, evaluation and management of assets in a number of other services!
Xerox toner-based pioneer of organic carbon in the 1950s and today the development of a chemically grown toner – Emulsion Aggregation, Xerox has been short, and is the market leader in copiers, toner and ink !
It is No. 1 in the color digital production and No. 2 in the desktop color. Xerox is also compatible cartridges and rights to an alternative high quality cartridges for Hewlett-Packard!
Xerox manufactures and markets a range of monochrome and color copiers, fax machines, printers and presses.
Technology:
Xerox Research Centre Canada conducts basic and applied materials to support research in toners, inks, photoreceptors and specialty substrates xerographic printing technologies and direct.
Solid ink
Solid ink is solid until heated to a certain temperature, so it becomes liquid, then immediately turns back to solid state Printing. A stainless steel head with precision of tiny holes smaller than a human hair, solid ink is pressure on the media. The printhead contains 1,236 nozzles spray over 30 million drops per second. The print head nozzles, the ink on a heated drum, where he remains in a malleable state that ensures precise transfer to paper.
This reduces the amount of ink that is absorbed by the paper fibers and controls dot spread.
The brain behind such precise control is the controller based on a Phaser 600 MHz processor and a high speed bus 64-bit.
A solid ink printer consists of three main components: the head, the ink is printing drum, drum impression that the image transfer paper and control the brain of the printer that converts data from the computer to obtain information necessary print the image on the paper. Add a cabinet and a paper tray and you have a solid ink printer.
With print speeds up to 30 pages per minute and first page in six seconds, the solid ink printer three times faster than comparably priced laser printer.
The advantages of solid ink printers, it provides an excellent print quality, compared to 90% less waste as a competitive advantage over other printers on the print market, save up to 16 pages on a paper and Energy Star.
Emulsion Aggregation Toner
This is the breakthrough technology of Xerox Research Centre Canada has developed and patented by Xerox. This technology uses a chemical process to develop the toner particles with well defined shapes.
Very small particles of components are grouped into account those of toner in an aqueous environment and was allowed bail, and then grow. This simplifies control over the size and shape of toner particles. Once the particles reach their target size, they are removed from the growth environment. The growth process of organic matter requires comprehensive measures less and less energy, making it much more environmentally friendly.
A big advantage is that cost is not the limiting factor in the production of EA toner because there is no exponential relationship between cost and size of toner particles! In addition, it is again because of very low energy consumption during the growth of particles.
