摘要:
A toner for developing an electrostatic image is constituted by at least toner particles and an additive. The toner particles have a shape factor SF-1 of 100-160, a phase factor SF-2 of 100-140 and a weight-average particle size of 4-10 .mu.m as measured by a Coulter counter. The toner contains particles having circle-equivalent diameters in a range of 0.6-2.0 .mu.m and satisfying the following conditions (i)-(iii): (i) a first value C.sub.1 of 3-50% by number as measured by a flow particle image analyzer after application of a ultrasonic wave of 20 kHz for 5 min., (ii) a second value C.sub.2 of 2-40% by number as measured by the flow particle image analyzer after application of a ultrasonic wave of 20 kHz for 1 min., and (iii) a value C of 105-150 obtained according to the following equation: C=(C.sub.1 /C.sub.2).times.100 The toner is effective in improving image-forming characteristics in a continuous image formation on a large number of sheets.
摘要:
A toner for developing an electrostatic image has toner particles containing a binder resin and a colorant. The toner particle has at least a core composed of a low-temperature softening substance, an inner layer enclosing the core, and an outer layer enclosing the core and the inner layer. The core, the inner layer, and the outer layer are constituted respectively of a material which is discriminable by staining with triruthenium tetroxide and triosmium tetroxide.
