Patent ID: 8426097

Claim:
An electrophotographic toner having toner particles, the toner comprising: a latex; a coloring agent; and a release agent, wherein a difference between an average circularity S16 of the toner having a particle size of D16p or less and an average circularity S50 of the toner having a particle size of D50p or less is about 0.01 or less, wherein the average circularity is measured using a flow particle image analyzer (FPIA), a ratio of an area of wax to a total cross-sectional area of the toner having a particle size of D16p or less is 8/100 or greater, and wherein each of the areas is measured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and D16p and D50p respectively indicate particle sizes corresponding to 16% and 50% of a number cumulative distribution in which the toner particles are accumulated in ascending size order.
