2 The trend of chemical prepared toner is beginning to change. Emulsion aggregation toner manufacturers such as Konica Minolta, Fuji Xerox and Mitsubishi Chemicals have expanded their production facilities with aggressive enhancement strategies. Since the fall of 2004, Fuji Xerox stated that they would use chemically prepared toner not only for color engines but also for monochrome MFPs and printers. The Xerox Group as a whole is getting more active as Xerox (US) also is boosting the production of polymerized toner.

On the other hand, Canon has been producing suspension polymerization toner but are beginning to use pulverized toner for their own color engines and are dubious about long time use of chemically prepared toner. Oki Data changed over from suspension polymerization toner manufactured by Nippon Zeon to emulsion aggregation toner manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemicals for their color printers. Suspension polymerization toner is at a critical turning point.

Ricoh employs ester elongation polymerization toner and made a large-scale investment in production equipment. This issue covers the trends of Korean polymerized toner manufacturers as well.

3. The new trend in pulverized toner is as the case with Sharp, that they had only manufactured monochrome toner in-house and now they have announced that they are beginning production of pulverized color toner

4. Whether pulverized or polymerized, it is undeniable that the toner business will be controlled by the in-house production of color toner. This is a report to research and analyze the latest trends in the toner industry categorized by the method of toner production.

5. We also take a closer look at how the market for toner related materials such as resin, carrier, CCA, magnetic powder, colorant, external additives and carbon black will change as chemically prepared toner progress.

6. The staff of DATA SUPPLY visited and interviewed the toner manufacturers in South Korea, Taiwan and China whose rapid growth are being paid attention.
