Patent ID: 8623580

Claim:
A toner comprising: a resin particle (C) containing a first resin (a1), a second resin (a2), and a resin particle (B) to a surface of which the first resin (a1) and the second resin (a2) are attached, wherein the first resin (a1) and the second resin (a2) have mutually different glass transition temperatures, and wherein the resin particle (B) contains a third resin (b) having an amorphous polyhydroxycarboxylic acid skeleton which is a copolymer of C3-C6 hydroxycarboxylic acids and is optically active, and wherein the third resin (b) has an optical purity X (%), represented by Equation (1) below, of 80% or less, Optical purity X (%)=| X ( L -form)− X ( D -form)| Equation (1) where X (L-form) denotes the proportion (mol %) of an L-form contained in the third resin (b), expressed as an optically-active monomer equivalent, and X (D-form) denotes the proportion (mol %) of a D-form contained in the third resin (b), expressed as an optically-active monomer equivalent.
