Abstract:
Provided is toner which has good low-temperature fixability, shelf stability and hot offset resistance, and which suppresses a decrease in glossiness of an image. The toner comprising colored resin particles containing a binder resin, a colorant, a softening agent and a charge control agent, and an external additive, wherein a glass transition temperature (Tg) specified from a temperature dependence curve of a loss tangent (tan δ) obtained by dynamic viscoelastic measurement of the toner, is 50° C. or more and less than 90° C.; the loss tangent (tan δ) at the glass transition temperature (Tg) is 1.70 or less; in a temperature range of 90° C. or more and 160° C. or less, a lowest temperature (Ta) with a loss tangent of 1.50 is more than 95° C. and less than 145° C.; and a storage elastic modulus (G′) at the lowest temperature (Ta) is less than 56000 Pa.
