A toner includes a binder resin, a coloring agent, and a releasing agent containing two or more kinds of alkyl monoester compounds having a different number of carbon atoms in a range of from 30 to 50 carbon atoms. The toner has a crystallinity of 10 % or more as measured by x-ray diffraction and/or the binder resin is a crystalline resin in an amount of 50 % by weight or more of the binder resin. The two or more kinds of alkyl monoester compounds include a component A accounting for the largest amount ranging from 30% by weight to less than 50% by weight of the releasing agent and a component B accounting for the second largest amount ranging from 10% by weight to less than 50% by weight of the releasing agent.
摘要:
An object of the invention is to provide: a toner such that the toner corresponds to a low-temperature fixing system, is excellent in both of offset resistance and anti-heat preservability and especially, even after a large number of copies are to be produced over a long period, the toner does not aggregate to each other, deterioration of flowability, transferability, and fixing ability is extremely rare, the toner makes it possible to form stable images on any transferring medium without transfer errors and with good reproducibility, and further does not contaminate fixing unit and images; or the like. Therefore, provided is a toner comprising: a toner material; and resin fine particles on a surface of the toner; wherein the toner has a glass-transition temperature, Tg, of from 30°C to 46°C, the resin fine particles have a glass-transition temperature, Tg, of from 50°C to 70°C, and wherein, when the toner has been masticated with Labo Plastomill, the toner has a 1/2 flown-out temperature of from 95°C to 120°C, and before the mastication of the toner, the toner has a 1/2 flown-out temperature of from 120°C to 145°C.
