Claim:
A process comprising: contacting at least one amorphous resin in an emulsion, at least one crystalline resin in an emulsion, a colorant dispersion, and a wax to form a mixture; aggregating the mixture to form aggregated particles; adding a reactive coalescent agent selected from the group consisting of benzoic acid alkyl esters, ester-alcohols, glycol-ether type solvents, long-chain aliphatic alcohols, aromatic alcohols, and mixtures thereof to the aggregated particles; allowing the aggregated particles to coalesce for a period of time of from about 10 minutes to about 300 minutes to form toner particles; and recovering the toner particles, wherein the toner particles are highly pigmented particles possessing the colorant in an amount of from about 1 percent by weight to about 15 percent by weight of the toner particles, and wherein the particles exhibit a BET of about 1.21 m 2 /g.
