    摘要: A magnetic toner for electrophotography is composed from a binder resin and a silicon-containing magnetic iron oxide. The magnetic toner has a weigh-average particle size o at most 13.5 .mu.m and has a particle size distribution such that it contains o more than 50 wt, % of magnetic toner particles having a particle size of at least 12.7 .mu.m. The magnetic toner is able to show high developing performances because of richness in fine particles and is also provided with an improved environmental stability because the magnetic iron oxide used therein contains 0.5-4 wt, % silicon (based on total iron content) and has a specific silicon distribution such that the magnetic iron oxide has a total silicon content (A), a silicon content (B) dissolved together with the magnetic iron oxide when the magnetic iron oxide is dissolved up to 20 wt, % dissolution of iron, and a superficial silicon content (C), satisfying relations of B/A=44-84% and C/A=10-55%. The performances are enhanced if the magnetic toner is blended with additives such as inorganic fine powder or resin fine particles.

    摘要: A toner for developing electrostatic images is produced through a process including the steps of: pre-mixing binder resin particles carrying or containing inorganic fine powder to prepare a premix; melt-kneading the premix to obtain a kneaded product; cooling the kneaded product to obtain a colored resinous solid; pulverizing the colored resinous solid to obtain a pulverized product; and classifying the pulverized product to obtain toner particles. The inclusion of the resin particles carrying or containing inorganic fine powder improves the performance of the pre-mixing to provide an improved dispersion of toner materials within the product toner particles. A fine powder fraction from the classifying step can also be recycled to the premixing step. The resin particles can be toner particles per se. The inorganic fine powder may preferably be silica fine powder treated with silicone oil.
