A low melt, low gloss toner resin with low minimum fix temperature and wide fusing latitude contains a linear portion and 20-45% by weight of a cross-linked portion containing high density, cross-linked microgel particles, but substantially free of low density, cross-linked polymer. The resin is particularly suitable for low gloss applications such as black only and highlighting and for high speed fusing, shows excellent offset resistance and wide fusing latitude and superior vinyl offset properties. The resin may be formed by reactive melt mixing. |
