Patent ID: 8465894

Claim:
A toner set for electrostatic image development, comprising: a magenta toner; a yellow toner; and a red toner, each containing a binder resin, a coloring agent and a release agent, wherein the toner set for electrostatic image development satisfies the following formulae: 0.3<ID<1.2 5°<A<35° 0.2<( ID/IDmy )<0.7 A<Amy wherein ID represents an image density when a first image is formed on a recording material with a toner loaded amount of 4.0 g/m 2 of the red toner; A represents a hue angle of the first image expressed by an L*a*b* color coordinate space, provided that a hue angle of 0° is on the a*+axis and a hue angle of 90° is on the b*+axis; IDmy represents an image density when a second image is formed by the magenta toner and the yellow toner on a recording material with a toner loaded amount of 4.0 g/m 2 for each of the magenta toner and the yellow toner; and Amy represents a hue angle of the second image expressed by the L*a*b* color coordinate space, the red toner comprises a red pigment selected from the group consisting of C.I. Pigment Red 150, C.I. Pigment Red 221, and C.I. Pigment Red 31; the magenta toner comprises a magenta pigment selected from the group consisting of C.I. Pigment Red 185, C.I. Pigment Red 238, C.I. Pigment Red 269, and C.I. Pigment Red 122; and the yellow toner comprises a yellow pigment selected from the group consisting of C.I. Pigment Yellow 74 and C.I. Pigment Yellow 185.
