Patent ID: 8735040

Claim:
A toner, comprising: a binder resin; and a colorant, wherein the binder resin has two glass transition temperatures Tg1 and Tg2 in a differential scanning calorimetry at a heating speed of 5° C./min, the glass transition temperature Tg1 is −20° C. to 20° C., and the glass transition temperature Tg2 is 35° C. to 65° C., wherein the binder resin comprises a polyester skeleton and a ring-containing skeleton molecule at ends thereof, wherein the binder resin is obtained by block copolymerization of: a polyester skeleton A which includes a structural unit obtained by dehydration condensation of a hydroxycarboxylic acid in a repeating structure; and a skeleton B which does not include a structural unit obtained by dehydration condensation of a hydroxycarboxylic acid in a repeating structure.
