Claim Text:
1. A toner set, comprising: a transparent toner which comprises a binder resin a and a releasing agent a and which does not comprise a colorant; and one or more color toners, each of which comprises a binder resin b, a colorant b and a releasing agent b, wherein the binder resin a comprises a non-crystalline resin α and a crystalline resin α, wherein the binder resin b comprises a non-crystalline resin β and a crystalline resin β, wherein the releasing agent a has an average particle diameter as a long diameter of 0.2 μm to 2.0 μm, and wherein the toner set has a relationship of 1<A/B<1.5, where A is defined as an area of the releasing agent a in a cross-section of the transparent toner existing in a region from a surface of the transparent toner to a depth of ⅓ of a volume-average particle diameter of the transparent toner, and B is defined as an area of the releasing agent b in a cross-section of the color toner existing in a region from a surface of the color toner to a depth of ⅓ of a volume-average particle diameter of the color toner, and wherein the transparent toner has the volume-average particle diameter Dv of 3 μm to 7 μm, and a ratio of the volume-average particle diameter Dv to a number-average particle diameter Dn of the transparent toner (Dv/Dn) is 1.2 or less.
