Patent ID: 8859175

Claim:
A transparent toner for developing an electrostatic latent image, comprising a binder resin; and a release agent having a domain, and Al being present inside the domain of the release agent, the difference between the endothermic peak Tm of the release agent in a temperature increasing process and the exothermic peak Tc of the release agent in a temperature decreasing process being from about 10° C. to about 50° C., where Tm and Tc are measured with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) according to the ASTM method, wherein: the binder resin is a polyester resin having an acid value from about 3.0 mg KOH/g to about 30.0 mg KOH/g; the release agent has a melting temperature ranging from 90° C. to 115° C.; and the transparent toner has a colorant content of about 0.01% by weight or less.
