Patent ID: 8178267

Claim:
A set of toners comprising a yellow toner, a magenta toner, a cyan toner and a black toner for forming a full color image with an electrophotographic method, wherein the yellow toner comprises toner particles containing at least one pigment selected from the group consisting of C.I. Pigment Yellow 74, C.I. Pigment Yellow 139, C.I. Pigment Yellow 155, C.I. Pigment Yellow 180 and C.I. Pigment Yellow 185; the magenta toner comprises toner particles containing a dye represented by Formula (X-1) and a metal compound represented by Formula (1); and the cyan toner comprises toner particles containing a silicon phthalocyanine represented by Formula (2): wherein, Rx 1 and Rx 2 each independently represent an alkyl group; Lx represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; Gx 1 represents an alkyl group of 2 or more carbon atoms; Gx 2 represents an alkyl group or an aromatic hydrocarbon; Gx 3 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, Gx 4 —CO—NH—, or Gx 5 —N(Gx 6 )—CO—, provided that Gx 4 is substituent, and Gx 5 and Gx 6 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; and Qx 1 , Qx 2 , Qx 3 , Qx 4 , Qx 5 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, wherein, R 1 and R 2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a alkynyl group, an aryl group, a heterocyclic group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, a sulfamoyl group, a sulfinyl group, an alkylsulfonyl group, a arylsulfonyl group, a cyano group, a trifluoroalkyl group or a nitro group, provided that one of R 1 and R 2 is an electron withdrawing group; R 3 represents an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an aryl group or a heterocyclic group, provided that a group represented by R 3 contains 3 carbon atoms or more; and X represents Cu, Ni, or Co, wherein, Z represents a hydroxyl group, a chlorine atom, an aryloxy group of 6 to 18 carbon atoms, an alkoxyl group of 1 to 22 carbon atoms or a group represented by Formula (IV); R a1 , R a2 , R a3 and R a4 each independently represent a substituent; and n a1 , n a2 , n a3 and n a4 each independently represent an integer of 0 to 4, wherein, R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each represent an alkyl group of 1 to 22 carbon atoms, an aryl group of 6 to 18 carbon atoms, an alkoxyl group of 1 to 22 carbon atoms or an aryloxy group of 6 to 18 carbon atoms, and R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each may be the same or different.
