Toner compositions have a post-blended particulate additive which
comprises aluminum oxide and aluminum hydroxide with, optionally, a third
component such as silica or a wax, which is a tribo-charging additive
which, upon tribo-charging of the toner particles, shifts the charge
distribution in either the positive or negative direction. As well as
providing toner compositions having adequate fluidity, the use of
pre-extrusion charge-control additives can be avoided. There are also
advantages, for example, in terms of charge distribution characteristics,
stability of charge distribution, and avoidance of matting effects.
Developer compositions are formed by admixture with suitable carrier
particles.
