Patent ID: 7348117

Claim:
A toner, comprising: toner particles including a binder resin; and at least two kinds of particulate resins, which are located on at least a surface of the toner particles, wherein the toner satisfies at least one of the following relationships (1) and (2): ( TgA−TgB )≧20° C. (1) wherein TgA and TgB represent glass transition temperatures of a particulate resin (A) having a highest glass transition temperature and a particulate resin (B) having a lowest glass transition temperature among the at least two kinds of particulate resins, respectively, and 100,000≦Mwc≦6,000,000 and 8,000≦Mwd≦800,000 (2) wherein Mwc and Mwd represent weight average molecular weights of tetrahydrofuran-soluble components of a particulate resin (C) having a highest weight average molecular weight and tetrahydrofuran-soluble components of a particulate resin (D) having a lowest weight average molecular weight among the at least two kinds of particulate resins, respectively, wherein Mwc>Mwd.
