Patent ID: 8652725

Claim:
A toner comprising toner base particles each of which contains at least a binder resin and a colorant, and silica titania composite particles, wherein; the silica titania composite particles contain silica in an amount of from 58.0% by mass to 83.0% by mass; and in a chart obtained by the measurement by X-ray diffraction of the silica titania composite particles and where, in respect of a peak having the highest diffraction intensity and a peak having the next-highest diffraction intensity among peaks present in the range of 2θ=24.0 to 29.0, the value of area of the peak on a lower-angle side assigned to an anatase-type crystal of titania is represented by Xa and the value of area of the peak on a higher-angle side assigned to a rutile-type crystal of titania is represented by Xb, the ratio of Xa/Xb is from 94.0/6.0 to 77.0/23.0.
