Abstract
A novel toner system is provided employing a photodegradable toner. These toners are photodegradable during the fixing step in electrophotographic processes when they are exposed to light and then pressure or in the opposite sequences. This system provides excellent fixing of toner images at lower energy levels than is found in composition fixing systems.
