Toners in electrophotography and their interaction with paper As noted in the Electrophotography article, electrophotographic toners are commonly powdered materials. Their particle size is typically close to 5 µm. A narrow distribution has been found to be advantageous from the standpoint of resolution. With an increase in the nominal resolution, particle sizes have decreased. Approximately,
