摘要:
A toner is provided for electrostatic latent image developing which exhibits desirable smearing, offset and filming characteristics during copying, and which has excellent toner flow characteristics and chargeability properties. The toner of the present invention contains at least a binder resin containing polyethylene wax, and at least polypropylene wax, and colorant. The toner of the present invention is made by a process whereby polyethylene wax is added to a binder resin to form a mixture. The mixture is then added or mixed with a colorant and polypropylene wax.
