Patent ID: 8865385

Claim:
A toner comprising toner particles, each of which contains a binder resin, a hydrocarbon wax, and a coloring agent, wherein in GC/MS analysis of components volatilized by heating the hydrocarbon wax at 200° C. for 10 minutes, i) a total amount (A) of components showing peaks that are detected on and after the detection time of the peak of hydrocarbon having 16 carbon atoms is 1500 ppm or less; ii) a total amount (B) of components showing peaks that are detected on and after the detection time of the peak of hydrocarbon having 30 carbon atoms is 570 ppm or less; and iii) when a total amount of components showing peaks that are detected on and after the detection time of the peak of hydrocarbon having 16 carbon atoms and on and before the detection time of the peak of hydrocarbon having 29 carbon atoms is represented by a total amount (C), the total amount (B) and the total amount (C) satisfy a relationship expressed by (B)/(C)≧2.0.
