Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide cost-effective custom color toner production in contrast to conventional systems and methods for toner production which are designed to produce cyan, magenta, yellow and black toners and are unsuitable for custom color toner production because of high costs associated with preparation, production, and clean-up of Henschel blenders and associated equipment.SOLUTION: A toner delivery system 105 includes selectively engageable fluid delivery lines 112a to 112d for delivering toner of particular color to a cartridge 107 and producing a custom color toner in response to an electronically submitted user request as necessary. The cartridge 107 containing the unmixed delivered toner may be sealed by a sealing system, and blended using a resonant mixer to produce a custom color toner. The cartridge 107 containing the mixed custom color toner may be packaged using a packaging system.
