Toner, image forming apparatus, image forming method, process cartridge, and developer

摘要

A toner comprised of mother toner particles each including a colorant, a resin A capable of forming a crystalline structure, and a resin B incapable of forming a crystalline structure is provided. The resin A is dispersed in the resin B in the state of phase separation. The long axis of each dispersed particle of the resin A has a length of from 30 to 200 nm and the length ratio of the long axis to the short axis is from 2 to 15. The DSC endothermic quantity attributable to the resin A is from 8 to 20 J/g.

1. A toner, comprising mother toner particles including:
a colorant; a crystalline resin A, an amorphous resin B, and ethyl acetate in an amount of from 1 to 30 μg per 1 gram of the toner; wherein the crystalline resin A is dispersed in the amorphous resin B in the state of phase separation, wherein a long axis of each dispersed particle of the crystalline resin A has a length of from 30 to 200 nm and a length ratio of the long axis to a short axis is from 2 to 15, and wherein a DSC endothermic quantity attributable to the crystalline resin A is from 8 to 20 J/g.
