Toner technology is at a transformative crossroads. With heightened demands for vivid print quality, sustainability, and cost-efficient manufacturing, Xerox has reimagined its toner development pipeline. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of Xerox’s innovative work in three pillars: (1) specialty toners enabling new color and functional effects, (2) sustainable toners incorporating bio-based and low-impact materials, and (3) advanced manufacturing via the Continuous Emulsion Aggregation (EA) toner process, with new solvent-free techniques for resin emulsification. Together, these advances push the boundaries of what’s possible in electrophotographic printing.
