Abstract:
1. A magnetic toner comprising magnetic toner particles containing a binder resin and a magnetic body, and inorganic fine particles present on the surface of the magnetic toner particles, wherein; the inorganic fine particles present on the surface of the magnetic toner particles comprise metal oxide fine particles, the metal oxide fine particles containing silica fine particles, and optionally containing titania fine particles and alumina fine particles, and a content of the silica fine particles being at least 85 mass % with respect to a total mass of the silica fine particles, the titania fine particles and the alumina fine particles, wherein; when a coverage ratio A (%) is a coverage ratio of the magnetic toner particles' surface by the inorganic fine particles and a coverage ratio B (%) is a coverage ratio of the magnetic toner particles' surface by the inorganic fine particles that are fixed to the magnetic toner particles' surface, the magnetic toner has a coverage ratio A of at least 45.0% and not more than 70.0% and a ratio [coverage ratio B/coverage ratio A] of the coverage ratio B to the coverage ratio A of from at least 0.50 to not more than 0.85, the magnetic toner particle contains a crystalline polyester; and in a differential scanning calorimetric measurement of the magnetic toner, i) the peak temperature (Cm) of the highest endothermic peak originating from the crystalline polyester and obtained during a first temperature ramp up is from at least 70° C. to not more than 130° C., and ii) when ΔH1 is an amount of heat absorption calculated from the area, which is bounded by a differential scanning calorimetric curve “a” that displays the highest endothermic peak originating from the crystalline polyester and obtained during the first temperature ramp up, and the baseline of the differential scanning calorimetric curve “a”, and ΔH2 is an amount of heat absorption calculated from the area, which is bounded by a differential scanning calorimetric curve “b” that displays the highest endothermic peak originating from the crystalline polyester and obtained during a second temperature ramp up, and the baseline of the differential scanning calorimetric curve “b”, the value obtained by subtracting ΔH2 from ΔH1 is from at least 0.30 J/g to not more than 5.30 J/g.
