Abstract

Provided is a toner containing a toner particle including a binder resin, a wax, and a colorant. The softening point of the toner is at least 80° C. and not more than 140° C. The average circularity of the toner is at least 0.940. The integrated value of stress in the toner at 150° C. which is measured by using a tackiness tester is at least 78 g·m/sec.

Claims (11)

1. A toner comprising a toner particle including a binder resin, a wax, and a colorant, wherein

the wax comprises an ester wax, the ester wax being (i) an ester compound of a dihydric alcohol and an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid, or (ii) an ester compound of a divalent carboxylic acid and an aliphatic monoalcohol,

a softening point of the toner is 80 to 140° C.;

an average circularity of the toner is at least 0.940; and

an integrated value of stress in the toner at 150° C. is at least 80 g·m/sec when measured using a tackiness tester on a toner pellet obtained by compressing the toner.

2. The toner according to claim 1 , wherein the binder resin is a styrene-acrylic resin.

3. The toner according to claim 1 , wherein the colorant is a magnetic body.

4. The toner according to claim 1 , wherein a thermal conductivity of the toner is 0.190 to 0.300 W/mK.

5. The toner according to claim 1 , wherein the average circularity of the toner is at least 0.950.

6. The toner according to claim 1 , wherein the integrated value of stress in the toner at 150° C. is 80 g·m/sec to 130 g·m/sec.

7. The toner according to claim 1 , wherein the wax consists of the ester wax.
