Patent ID: 7074535

Claim:
A toner for developing latent electrostatic images, wherein said toner is prepared by: (A) dissolving or dispersing a toner composition comprising: (1) a binder resin which comprises a polyester resin reactive with at least active hydrogen, (2) a coloring agent, and (3) a releasing agent, in an organic solvent to provide a toner composition solution or a toner composition dispersion, (B) dispersing said toner composition solution or said toner composition dispersion in an aqueous solvent to prepare an aqueous dispersion, (C) subjecting said aqueous dispersion to a reaction to prepare a toner mixture, (D) removing said organic solvent from said toner mixture, (E) optionally washing said toner mixture to prepare a washed toner, (F) optionally drying said toner mixture or said washed toner to prepare a toner, wherein said toner comprises a fluorine-atom-containing compound at a surface thereof, and satisfies a relationship of 0.01â‰¦F/Câ‰¦0.50 with respect to the content (F) of fluorine atom and (C) of carbon atom, as measured by XPS.
