Patent ID: 7323281

Claim:
A toner comprising: toner particles comprising: a first binder resin; a second binder resin different from said first binder resin and having a glass transition temperature of from 40 to 55° C.; a colorant; and release agent, and a particulate resin material having a volume average molecular weight of from 1,000 to 100,000 located on a surface of the toner particles with a coverage of from 50 to 100%, and which has a glass transition temperature of from 50 to 90° C., wherein a weight ratio (W 2 /W 1 ) between the second binder resin (W 2 ) and the first binder resin (W 1 ) is from 5/95 to 40/60, and wherein a ratio of a storage modulus of the toner at 80° C. and a storage modulus of the toner at 180° C. is from 100 to 2,750.
