Patent ID: 8741521

Claim:
A toner comprising: toner particles, each toner particle comprising: a binder resin; a releasing agent; and a colorant, wherein the binder resin comprises at least a crystalline polyester resin and a non-crystalline polyester resin, wherein in the case where a volume average particle diameter of the toner is defined as Dv, the toner contains a group of the toner particles having the volume average particle diameter of 4/5 Dv, and a group of the toner particles having the volume average particle diameter of 6/5 Dv, and wherein an endothermic value A of the crystalline polyester resin at a first temperature increase in a differential scanning calorimetry of the toner, an endothermic value B of the crystalline polyester resin at a first temperature increase in a differential scanning calorimetry of the group of the toner particles having the volume average particle diameter of 4/5 Dv after classification, and an endothermic value C of the crystalline polyester resin at a first temperature increase in a differential scanning calorimetry of the group of the toner particles having the volume average particle diameter of 6/5 Dv after classification satisfy the relation represented by the following formulas: 50<( B/A )×100<90, and 110<( C/A )×100<150.
