Abstract:
Provided here are toners and image forming apparatus and methods for the formation of a bright image with excellent brightness and concealability. A bright toner according to an embodiment comprises a plurality of toner particles containing a bright pigment and a binder resin, and has a volume particle diameter distribution with a coefficient of variation CV of 0.26 or more.

Claim (Index 17):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n a photoconductor; a charger which charges the photoconductor; an optical unit which irradiates the photoconductor with light, thereby forming an electrostatic latent image; a developing device which supplies a bright toner comprising a plurality of toner particles containing a bright pigment and a binder resin and having a volume particle diameter distribution with a coefficient of variation CV of 0.26 or more to the photoconductor, thereby forming a toner image corresponding to the electrostatic latent image; and a transfer device which directly or indirectly transfers the toner image onto a recording medium from the photoconductor.
