Patent ID: 7862973

Claim:
A toner, comprising a binder resin, a releasing agent, and a colorant, wherein the mass average particle diameter of the toner is 3 Î¼m to 8 Î¼m, the content of particles having a particle diameter of no more than 5 Î¼m is from 60% by number to 90% by number, the binder resin comprises a polyester resin (A) having a softening temperature Tm(A) from no lower than 120Â° C. to no higher than 160Â° C. and a polyester resin (B) having a softening temperature Tm(B) from no lower than 80Â° C. to lower than 120Â° C., and at least one of the polyester resins (A) and (B) is prepared by condensation polymerization between an alcohol component and a carboxylic acid component, and the alcohol component comprises divalent alcohol of 1,2-propanediol in a content of no less than 65% by mole and consists substantially of aliphatic alcohol.
