    Abstract: A toner comprising a toner particle that comprises a core particle comprising a binder resin and a surface layer comprising inorganic fine particles and an organosilicon polymer, wherein the organosilicon polymer has T3 structure represented by R—Si(O1/2)3, in 29Si-NMR measurement of THF insoluble-matter of the toner particle, a proportion of a peak area assigned to the T3 structure relative to a total peak area for the organosilicon polymer is at least 5.0%, and in observation of a cross section of the toner particle using TEM, the toner has a prescribed surface layer thickness, a prescribed number of inorganic fine particles in contact with the core particle in the surface layer, and a prescribed number of inorganic fine particles present in the core particle and not in contact with the surface layer.

    Abstract: An image-forming apparatus includes first and second photosensitive drums, first and second image-forming portion including first and second development rollers configured to bear developers composed of first and second toner particles and organosilicon protrusions formed on surfaces of the first and second toner particles, an intermediate transfer member to which a developer image is to be transferred in first and second contact portions in contact with the first and second photosensitive drums, and a transfer member configured to transfer the developer image to a recording material in a transfer portion. The first contact portion is formed downstream of the transfer portion and upstream of the second contact portion in a movement direction of the surface of the intermediate transfer member. A protrusion formed on the second developer has a lower height than a protrusion formed on the first developer.

    Abstract: A toner external additive composition of the present invention comprises, as a core component, tin oxide, to be usable as an alternative material for conventional titanium dioxide (TiO2), and thus can respond to future regulations on titanium dioxide and environment. In addition, the toner external additive composition and a toner composition comprising same comprise, as a shell component, a silane-based compound and aluminum hydroxide to reduce triboelectric charge so that a ghost phenomenon is alleviated and increase image density so that print quality is improved. Particularly, if aluminum hydroxide is used in a specific amount range, a print quality improvement effect can be further improved.
