IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, ADHESIVE CARTRIDGE, ADHESIVE CONTAINER, AND PROCESS CARTRIDGE SET - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18609729 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, ADHESIVE CARTRIDGE, ADHESIVE CONTAINER, AND PROCESS CARTRIDGE SET
The patent application describes an image forming apparatus with two units: one for printing toner images and another for forming adhesive powder images.
- The toner for printing and the powder adhesive both contain wax, with the powder adhesive having a higher wax content.
- This innovation allows for the creation of images with enhanced adhesive properties, suitable for various applications.
- By using different wax content in the toner and adhesive, the apparatus can produce high-quality prints with improved adhesion.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be used in commercial printing, packaging, labeling, and other industries requiring high-quality printed materials with strong adhesive properties.
Problems Solved:
- Traditional printing methods may not provide sufficient adhesion for certain applications, which this technology addresses by incorporating wax in both toner and adhesive.
Benefits:
- Enhanced adhesion of printed images, leading to better quality and durability of printed materials.
- Versatile applications in various industries requiring strong adhesion properties in printed materials.
Commercial Applications:
- "Enhanced Adhesive Image Forming Apparatus for High-Quality Printing and Labeling Applications"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the wax content in the toner and adhesive affect the adhesion properties of the printed images? 2. What are the specific industries that can benefit the most from this technology and why?
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming apparatus which comprises a first image forming unit for forming a toner image for printing by means of a toner for printing and an adhesive image forming unit for forming an image of a powder adhesive by means of a powder adhesive, and which is characterized in that: the toner for printing contains a wax; the powder adhesive contains a wax; and the content of the wax in the powder adhesive is higher than the content of the wax in the toner for printing.
