Resin composition for toner, toner, developer and image forming apparatus

摘要

A resin composition for a toner including a polyester resin and a colorant, wherein the polyester resin has A(10)-A(180) of 70 or greater, where A(10) (%) is a transmittance of light having a wavelength of 500 nm through a mixture of 20 parts by mass of the polyester resin added to 80 parts by mass of ethyl acetate and stirred at 25° C. for 10 minutes, and A(180) (%) is the transmittance after the mixture is left to stand for 3 hours.

1. A resin composition, comprising:
a polyester resin prepared from monomers comprising an aliphatic alcohol and an aromatic carboxylic acid; and a colorant, wherein the aliphatic alcohol comprises propylene glycol and 1,3-propanediol, where a molar ratio of propylene glycol with respect to a total of propylene glycol and 1,3-propanediol is from 65% to 85%, the aromatic carboxylic acid comprises terephthalic acid, and the polyester resin has a A(10)-A(180) value of 70 or greater, where A(10) (%) is a transmittance of light having a wavelength of 500 nm through a mixture obtained by adding 20 parts by mass of the polyester resin to 80 parts by mass of ethyl acetate and stirring at 25° C. for 10 minutes, and A(180) (%) is the transmittance after the mixture is left to stand for 3 hours.
