PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: toner that contains a plant-derived resin while having a large fixing width, excellent low-temperature fixability and heat-resistant preservability, and high stability of image density over change of usage environment, such as temperature and humidity; a developer using the toner; and an image forming method. SOLUTION: The toner contains particles (A) containing at least a first binder resin, a colorant, a release agent, and a fixing aid. The first binder resin contains an amorphous polyester resin (a) containing at least a polyhydroxycarboxylic acid skeleton in a part of the main chain thereof. The fixing aid has crystallinity and a melting point of 60-100°C and exists in a crystal state in the toner. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
