Patent ID: 8785099

Claim:
A toner comprising: toner particles comprising: a binder resin comprising at least one polyester resin comprising an inorganic tin (II) compound having no Sn—C bond; a wax having a melting point from 60 to 100° C.; a colorant; and an external additive comprising a hydrophobized particulate inorganic material having a median diameter greater than 80 nm and less than 300 nm; wherein an amount of the wax is in the toner is from 1 to 8 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the toner particles, a ratio (W/R) of a peak (W) of the wax observed in the vicinity of 3000 cm −1 of a FTIR-ATR spectrum to a peak (R) of the binder resin in the vicinity of 830 cm −1 is from 0.05 to 0.20, the at least one polyester resin was obtained by a reaction catalyzed by the inorganic tin (II) compound, and the inorganic tin (II) compound is selected from the group consisting of tin (II) carboxylates and tin (II) alkoxylates.
