    摘要: Provided is a toner including at least a binder resin, and having peak ratio W/R of from 0.20 to 0.70 when measured with FT-IR according to ATR method, W/R being a ratio of height W of maximum spectral peak attributed to bisphenol A skeleton of the toner and observed at from 1,480 cm−1 to 1,520 cm−1 to height R of maximum spectral peak attributed to carbonyl group of the toner and observed at from 1,700 cm−1 to 1,750 cm−1, wherein molecular weight distribution of the toner obtained by GPC of THF-soluble component of the toner has main peak in a range of from 1,000 to 10,000, half value width of the molecular weight distribution is a molecular weight of 20,000 or less, and content of a THF-insoluble component in the toner is from 5% by mass to 40% by mass.
