Electrostatic charge image developing toner, electrostatic charge image developer, toner cartridge, and process cartridge
An electrostatic charge image developing toner includes toner particles containing a binder resin containing a polyester resin, a particle of at least one selected from a styrene-(meth)acrylic resin particle and an acrylic resin particle, and a brilliant pigment.
1. An electrostatic charge image developing toner comprising:
toner particles containing
a binder resin containing a polyester resin;
particles of at least one selected from a styrene-(meth)acrylic resin particle and an acrylic resin particle; and
a brilliant pigment,
wherein the toner particles have a sea-island structure in which the binder resin represents a sea portion and the particles of at least one selected from a styrene-(meth)acrylic resin particle and an acrylic resin particle represents an island portion, and the particles of at least one selected from the styrene-(meth)acrylic resin particle and the acrylic resin particle are aggregated with the brilliant pigment such that the particles of the at least one selected from a styrene-(meth)acrylic resin particle and an acrylic resin particle are unevenly distributed around the brilliant pigment.
2. The electrostatic charge image developing toner according to claim 1 ,
wherein a content of the particles of at least one selected from the styrene-(meth) acrylic resin particle and the acrylic resin particle is from 3% by weight to 32% by weight with respect to the toner.
3. The electrostatic charge image developing toner according to claim 1 ,
wherein a number-average particle diameter of the particles of at least one selected from the styrene-(meth)acrylic resin particles and the acrylic resin particles is from 30 nm to 300 nm.
4. The electrostatic charge image developing toner according to claim 1 ,
wherein the brilliant pigment contains aluminum.
5. The electrostatic charge image developing toner according to claim 1 ,
wherein a content of the brilliant pigment is from 1% by weight to 50% by weight with respect to the toner.
6. The electrostatic charge image developing toner according to claim 1 ,
wherein a volume average particle diameter of the toner is from 5 μm to 20 μm.
7. The electrostatic charge image developing toner according to claim 1 ,
wherein the toner particles are flake shape particles.
8. The electrostatic charge image developing toner according to claim 1 ,
wherein a weight ratio of the particles of at least one selected from the styrene-(meth)acrylic resin particle and the acrylic resin particle and the brilliant pigment is in a range of 3:1 to 3:50.
9. An electrostatic charge image developer comprising the electrostatic charge image developing toner according to claim 1 .
10. A toner cartridge that accommodates the electrostatic charge image developing toner according to claim 1 , and is detachable from an image forming apparatus.
11. A process cartridge comprising:
a developing unit that accommodates the electrostatic charge image developer according to claim 9 , and develops an electrostatic charge image formed on a surface of an image holding member as a toner image with the electrostatic charge image developer,
wherein the process cartridge is detachable from an image forming apparatus.
