Abstract:
A toner comprising a toner particle that contains a binder resin and a colorant, wherein (1) an average circularity of the toner is at least 0.960, (2) an onset temperature Tε (° C.) of a storage elastic modulus E′ of the toner, as determined by a powder dynamic viscoelastic measurement, is from 50° C. to 70° C., and (3) in a differential curve obtained by differentiation, by load, of a load-displacement curve provided by measurement of the strength of the toner by a nanoindentation procedure, with the horizontal axis being load (mN) and the vertical axis being displacement (μm), the load X that provides the maximum value in the differential curve in the load region from 0.20 mN to 2.30 mN is from 1.00 mN to 1.50 mN.

Claim (Index 3):
The toner according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the binder resin contains a vinyl resin; the toner particle contains an amorphous polyester resin; and in a cross section of the toner particle observed with a transmission electron microscope (TEM), the vinyl resin forms a matrix and the amorphous polyester resin forms a plurality of domains, and a percentage for the domains present in a region within 25%, from a contour of the toner particle cross section, of the distance between the contour and a centroid of the cross section is from 30 area % to 70 area % with reference to a total area of the domains.
