Patent ID: 7157199

Claim:
A toner comprising: toner particles comprising: a first binder resin; a second binder resin having a glass transition temperature of from 40 to 55° C.; a colorant; and a release agent, and a particulate resin material which is located on surface of the toner particles with a coverage of from 50 to 100%, and which has a glass transition temperature of from 50 to 90° C., wherein the particulate resin material has a volume- average molecular weight of from 1,000 to 100,000, and wherein a weight ratio (W 2 /W 1 ) between the second binder resin (W 2 ) and the first binder resin (W 1 ) is from 5/95 to 40/60, and wherein a ratio (G′80/G′180) between a storage modulus of the toner at 80° C. (G′80) and a storage modulus at 180° C. (G′180) is from 100 to 1,000.
