Toner and development agent, image forming apparatus, and process cartridge using the same

摘要

A toner includes a coloring agent, a binder resin comprising a crystalline resin having a urethane skeleton and/or urea skeleton, and a releasing agent (a microcrystalline wax). A development agent, a process cartridge, and an image forming apparatus employ the toner to form images on recording media electrophotographically.

主权项

1. A toner comprising:
a coloring agent; a binder resin comprising an amount of 50% by weight or more of a crystalline resin having a urethane skeleton and/or urea skeleton; and a releasing agent comprising a microcrystalline wax wherein, in a diffraction spectrum of the toner obtained by X-ray diffraction, a ratio of C/(A+C) is 0.15 or greater, where C represents an integrated intensity of a spectrum deriving from a crystalline structure and A represents an integrated intensity of a spectrum deriving from a non-crystalline structure.
