Patent attributes
A charge control composition for controlling the resistivity of recording media used in electrophotographic printing processes is herein disclosed. The charge control composition is included in one or more layers applied to a substrate of the recording media. The charge control composition is an admixture of an electrolyte, a solvent, an organic carrier, and a co-organic carrier. The organic carrier is selected to form and maintain at least some physical and/or chemical bonds with the solvent such that he organic carrier will retain a fraction of the solvent during a high temperature fusion procedure. The co-organic carrier is selected to have a smaller molecular weight than the organic carrier and will also form at least some physical and or chemical bonds with a solvent.
