This new 2025 article below is unrelated to Mitsubishi’s operations for the MK Imaging OPC and toner business. The petrochemical division of Mitsubishi functions independently from the company’s toner business, with no direct connection. Mitsubishi’s chemical toners are specifically formulated using styrene acrylate toner resin.
In 2018, Mitsubishi ceased the production of conventional toners, largely due to fierce price competition from low-cost Chinese counterfeit toners with high TVOCs. However, the recent decision to stop producing polyester toner resin is expected to have significant repercussions for several major Japanese toner manufacturers.
(The article was taken by TheRecycler.com the day after it appeared on Tonernews.com, which had already credited the original source—India Chemical News—by sharing their live link and giving proper acknowledgment for the breaking story (see below). As usual, TheRecycler.com shows no originality or journalistic ethics. Their pro-China bias and continued silence on the global Chinese clone toner crisis only reinforce their role as an industry mouthpiece for bad actors. TheRecycler.com continues to lag behind in credibility and relevance. ht tps://the recycler .com/posts / mitsubishi-to-exit-toner-resin-market-by- 2026/)
