Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
52 words
An electrostatographic developer for developing electrostatic latent images comprising toner particles and coated carrier particles, said toner particles comprising a resin material and a colorant satisfying the formula: ##STR2## said coated carrier comprising a carrier core particle material over which is coated a composition comprising a resin and copper tetra-4-(octadecylsulfonomido) phthalocyanine colorant.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
52 words
An electrostatographic developer for developing electrostatic latent images comprising toner particles and coated carrier particles, said toner particles comprising a resin material and a colorant satisfying the formula: ##STR2## said coated carrier comprising a carrier core particle material over which is coated a composition comprising a resin and copper tetra-4-(octadecylsulfonomido) phthalocyanine colorant.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The material as defined in claim 1 wherein said toner resin is a member selected from the group consisting of styrene-butylmethacrylate copolymers, styrene-vinyltoluene copolymers, styrene-acrylate copolymers, and polystyrene resins.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The material as defined in claim 1 wherein said toner resin is a styrene-n-butylmethacrylate copolymer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The developer of claim 1 wherein said carrier coating resin is selected from the group consisting of styrene-maleic anhydrides, novalac type phenolics and polymeric organo silicones.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The developer of claim 1 wherein said carrier coating resin is a polymer of styrene, methyl methacrylate and vinyltriethoxy-silane.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The developer of claim 1 wherein said phthalocyanine colorant is present in about .25 to about 5 weight percent of said carrier coating.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
69 words
An electrostatographic imaging process comprising establishing an electrostatic latent image on a surface and contacting said surface with an electrostatographic developer comprising toner particles and coated carrier particles, said toner particles comprising a resin and a colorant satisfying the formula: ##STR3## and said coated carrier comprises a carrier core particle material overcoated with a composition comprising a resin and a copper tetra-4-(octadecylsulfonomido) phthalocyanine colorant to develop said latent image.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
69 words
An electrostatographic imaging process comprising establishing an electrostatic latent image on a surface and contacting said surface with an electrostatographic developer comprising toner particles and coated carrier particles, said toner particles comprising a resin and a colorant satisfying the formula: ##STR3## and said coated carrier comprises a carrier core particle material overcoated with a composition comprising a resin and a copper tetra-4-(octadecylsulfonomido) phthalocyanine colorant to develop said latent image.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
14 words
The imaging process of claim 8 wherein said carrier core particle material is steel.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
26 words
The imaging process of claim 8 wherein said carrier resin is selected from the group consisting of styrene-maleic anhydrides, novalac type phenolics and polymeric organo silicones.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
19 words
The imaging process of claim 8 wherein said carrier resin is a polymer of styrene, methyl methacrylate and vinyltriethoxy-silane.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
24 words
The imaging process of claim 8 wherein said phthalocyanine colorant is present in about 0.25 to about 5 weight percent of said carrier coating.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
14 words
The imaging process of claim 8 wherein said toner resin is a styrene-n-butylmethacrylate copolymer.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
29 words
The imaging process as defined in claim 8 further including the steps of transferring said developed image to a receiving surface and fixing said image on said receiving surface.
