About Konica Toner
Environmental Technologies
Simitri Toner
Next-generation toner with low
environmental impact both in production and in use
Konica Minolta's polymerized toner is called “Simitri toner.”
(Polymerization is one method of toner production.) Compared to
a conventional pulverized toner, Simitri toner has higher
environmental performance. It is a next-generation toner with
less environmental impact during both the production process and
use by the consumer.
Environmentally Sound Production Technology
Production process of pulverized
toner (conventional toner)
In the conventional pulverizing method, as its name suggests,
the toner is produced by the creation, then pulverization of a
lump of ingredients.
Toner particles are produced when
plastic materials are heated to melting point and are then
cooled down, hit against a wall and crushed by a strong air
current.
Due to the complex production process
mentioned above, pulverized toner has low energy efficiency.
Moreover, if the particles are pulverized into a size that does
not meet the requirements the production yield will deteriorate.
Production process of Simitri toner
On the other hand, in the polymerization method which is used
to produce Simitri toner, minute resin particles are combined
with color pigments in a chemical reaction to produce toner
particles.
Since the toner particles are produced
by combining resin particles and color pigments, the
polymerization method can produce smaller and more uniformly
shaped toner particles as compared with the pulverized method,
which uses a crushing process. The polymerization method thus
enables us to obtain precise and beautiful image quality.
Simitri toner, which requires no processes from hardening to
pulverization, is produced using a simple production process.
Additionally, uniformly shaped particles do not need to be inspected
for size after production. Accordingly, the energy used for the
production process can be substantially reduced.
Compared with the pulverizing method, the polymerization method has
achieved an approximate 40% reduction in CO2, which
contributes to global warming.
Environmental Technology with Less Impact at
Time of Use
 
Fine and uniform toner particles also
help reduce environmental impact when used by consumers
Simitri toner, with its fine and uniform particles, is also
effective in reducing environmental impact when the toner is
used by consumers.
Firstly, the small particle size toner
allows for a reduction in toner consumption. If a toner of 8 µm,
which is a standard size for the pulverized toner, is replaced
with a Simitri toner of 6 µm, the toner consumption is reduced
by more than 30%.
Secondly, since small and uniform toner
particles can be fused to the paper at a low temperature, power
consumption during the fusing process will also be reduced.
Simitri HD toner that can be fused at
a even lower temperature
Konica Minolta has upgraded the Simitri toner to develop the
Simitri HD (High Definition) toner.
Simitri HD toner has particles that are
soft on the inside, so that they may be melted at a lower
temperature, and hard on the outside, which prevents toners from
adhering each other and thus produces high quality images.
Simitri HD toner, featuring the
“core-shell configuration,” in which toner particles are soft on
the inside but hard on the outside, has allowed users to
substantially reduce power consumption when they use the
product.
Product information
Konica Minolta has expanded the scope of applications of the more
environmentally sound Simitri toner (polymerized toner), from
black-and-white toners to color toners, adopting the Simitri toner
in a range of MFPs and printers. We have also increased the use of
the Simitri HD toner, a further upgraded polymerized toner.
