Abstract:
1. A toner comprising toner particles, each of which contains a binder resin, a colorant, and a wax, wherein: the toner has a softening point of 75° C. or more and 110° C. or less measured by a constant-pressure-extrusion-type capillary rheometer, the wax is a hydrocarbon wax composed of a hydrocarbon compound, and wherein: in a carbon number distribution chart showing carbon number on an abscissa and abundance (area %) of the hydrocarbon compound on an ordinate, the carbon number distribution chart being drawn based on analytical values obtained by analyzing the hydrocarbon wax by gas chromatography, (i) a carbon number showing the maximum abundance is present within a range of 40 or more and 45 or less, and an abundance at the carbon number showing the maximum abundance is 6.5 area % or more, and 9.0 area % or less, (ii) a total sum of abundances in a carbon number range of 33 or less is 4.0 area % or less, (iii) a total sum of abundances in a carbon number range of 34 or more, and 38 or less, is 12.0 area % or more and 25.0 area % or less, and (iv) a total sum of abundances in a carbon number range of 50 or more is 5.0 are a% or more and 15.0 area % or less.
