Patent ID: 8309290

Claim:
A toner comprising: toner particles comprising: a binder resin; a coloring agent; and a wax, and further comprising a surface layer comprising an amorphous polymer, wherein the toner particles are prepared by at least one of agglomeration and fusion of at least two kinds of resin particulates and particles of the coloring agent dispersed in an aqueous medium, wherein a first resin particulate, among the at least two kinds of resin particulates including a second resin particulate, comprises a resin having a polyester skeleton and the wax, wherein at least 50% by weight of the binder resin is polyester resins, and wherein the first resin particulate is manufactured by dissolving a first polyester resin and the wax in a vinyl-based monomer, dispersing the solution in an aqueous medium comprising a surface active agent and polymerizing the vinyl-based monomer by a polymerization initiator, and a second resin particulate among the at least two kinds of resin particulates is a second polyester resin.
