Patent ID: 8361690

Claim:
A toner for developing electrostatic latent images, the toner comprising: a binder resin; a colorant; and a release agent, wherein the toner has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of from 55 to 75° C., a melting point (T1/2) of from 95 to 125° C. as measured by a flow tester in a ½ method, and ΔTs of from 1 to 5° C., wherein ΔTs is defined by the following formula: Δ Ts=Ts−T ( Ls/ 2), wherein Ts is a softening point of the toner; T(Ls/2) is a temperature when a stroke is Ls/2; and Ls is a stroke (mm) at Ts, and wherein the toner is prepared by a solution suspension method.
