Abstract: An electrostatic latent image developing toner includes toner particles which comprises a binder resin and a releasing agent. A main component of the binder resin is a polyester resin. The binder resin comprises a crystalline polyester resin, an amorphous polyester resin and a hybrid vinyl resin. The hybrid vinyl resin is composed of a vinyl polymer segment and at least one segment selected from a polyester polymer segment, an urethane polymer segment and an urea polymer segment which is chemically bound to the vinyl polymer segment. A main component of the hybrid vinyl resin is the vinyl polymer segment which comprises a structural unit derived from a monomer having a specific structure. A tetrahydrofuran-soluble fraction of the toner has a main peak of a molecular weight distribution measured by gel permeation chromatography within the range of 11000 to 30000.

Abstract: An image forming method of the present invention uses a specific toner set. The toner set includes a yellow toner, a magenta toner, a cyan toner and a black toner, and each of these toners contains an amorphous resin, a crystalline resin and a colorant. The colorant of the black toner contains a conductive black colorant. There is a specific relationship between an exothermic peak temperature of the black toner and exothermic peak temperatures of the chromatic color toners.
