Patent ID: 8828639

Claim:
A toner having toner particles, each of which contains a binder resin and a colorant, wherein, when dynamic viscoelastic properties of the toner are measured in a temperature range from at least 30° C. to not more than 200° C., i) with Tp [° C.] being a temperature at which a loss elastic modulus exhibits the maximum value, Tp is from at least 40° C. to not more than 55° C., and ii) with G″(Tp) [Pa] being the loss elastic modulus at the temperature of Tp [° C], G″(Tp+15) [Pa] being the loss elastic modulus at the temperature of Tp+15[° C.], and G″(Tp+30) [Pa] being the loss elastic modulus at the temperature of Tp+30[° C.], G″(Tp), G″(Tp+15), and G″(Tp+30) satisfy following equations (1), (2), and (3): 8.00×10 7≦ G ″( Tp )≦3.00×10 8 (1) G ″( Tp )/ G ″( Tp+ 15)≦6.00 (2) 50.0≦ G ″( Tp+ 15)/ G ″( Tp+ 30) (3).
