Abstract:
Black magnetic toner comprising: a binder resin; and black magnetic composite particles comprising: magnetic iron oxide particles having an average particle diameter of 0.055 to 0.95 &mgr;m, a coating layer formed on the surface of the magnetic iron oxide particles, comprising at least one organosilicon compound selected from the group consisting of: (1) organosilane compounds obtainable from alkoxysilane compounds, and (2) polysiloxanes or modified polysiloxanes, and a carbon black coat formed on the coating layer comprising the organosilicon compound, in an amount of 26 to 55 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the magnetic iron oxide particles. Such a black magnetic toner can be free from being deteriorated in electric resistance due to the existence of the carbon black coat, and as a result, is suitable as a high-resistant or insulated magnetic toner.

Abstract:
A toner for developing an electrostatic image is constituted by a binder resin and a long-chain compound. The binder resin is a polyester resin or vinyl resin respectively having an acid value of preferably 25-70 mgKOH/g. The long-chain compound is a long-chain alkyl alcohol having an OH value of 10-120 mgKOH/g or a long-chain alkyl carboxylic acid having an acid value of 5-120 mgKOH/g and is contained so as to satisfy a condition of the following formula (1) or formula (2): Formula (1) acid value of binder resin +OH value of long-chain alkyl alcohol >(¼)×OH value of binder resin, or Formula (2) acid value of binder resin +acid value of long-chain alkyl carboxylic acid >(¼)×OH value of binder resin. The toner is characterized by a good balance between fixing performances and developing performances suitable for a variety of models of image forming apparatus and in wide ranges of environmental conditions.
