Electrophotographic toner
An electrophotographic toner contains an electron donating color former compound, an electron accepting color developing agent, and a binder resin, wherein a toluene insoluble content in the electrophotographic toner is 10% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less, and the toner is decolorized by heating.
1. An electrophotographic toner, which is decolorizable with heat, comprising an electron donating color former compound, an electron accepting color developing agent, a temperature control agent, a release agent, and a polyester binder resin having a weight average molecular weight Mw of 25000 or less,
wherein the toner has a glass transition point of 35° C. or higher and 65° C. or lower, and a softening point of 80° C. or higher and 120° C. or lower, and wherein at least the electron donating color former compound, the electron accepting color developing agent, and the temperature control agent are microencapsulated.
2. The toner according to claim 1 , wherein the toner is decolorized with heat which make the temperature control agent heated to a temperature not lower than the melting point of the temperature control agent.
3. A toner cartridge containing the electrophotographic toner according to claim 1 .
4. An image forming apparatus comprising the electrophotographic toner according to claim 1 .
