    Abstract: A toner comprising a binder resin is provided. When the toner is observed with an atomic force microscope in tapping mode to obtain a phase image and the phase image is binarized with an intermediate value between maximum and minimum phase difference values in the phase image to obtain a binarized image, the binarized image consists of first phase-contrast portions having a large phase difference and second phase-contrast portions having a small phase difference, where the first phase-contrast portions are dispersed in the second phase-contrast portions and a dispersion diameter of the first phase-contrast portions is in a range of from 150 to 500 nm. The toner has at least two glass transition temperatures (Tg) in respective ranges of from 40° C. to 65° C. and from −30° C. to 20° C., determined from a DSC curve obtained at a first temperature rise in a differential scanning calorimetric measurement by a midpoint method.

    Abstract: A toner is provided. The toner comprises a binder resin, a colorant, and a release agent. The binder resin comprises a polyester resin comprising a crystalline polyester resin. The crystalline polyester resin forms domains having a number average long diameter of from 0 to 50 nm in a cross-section of the toner. The toner satisfies the following relation: G′(50)/G′(90)≥6.0×102 where G′(50) and G′(90) represent storage elastic modulus of the toner at 50 degrees C. and 90 degrees C., respectively.
