Patent ID: 8236470

Claim:
A toner comprising a resin binder and a colorant, wherein said resin binder comprises a polyester (A) having a softening point Tm(A) of from 100° to 160° C., and a polyester (B) having a softening point Tm(B) of from 80° to 120° C., the softening point of which is lower than that of the polyester (A) by 5° C. or more, each polyester obtained by polycondensing an alcohol component and a carboxylic acid component, wherein the polyester (A) and/or (B) is a polyester obtained by polycondensing an alcohol component consisting essentially of an aliphatic alcohol, wherein the alcohol component comprises a dihydric alcohol component comprising 1,2-propanediol in an amount of 65% by mol or more, and a carboxylic acid component, wherein said carboxylic acid component of the polyester (A) and/or (B) comprises a purified rosin having a softening point of from 50° to 100° C.
