A toner composition includes resin core particles having outer surfaces, and surface treatment, wherein the surface treatment includes at least first metal oxide particles having a surface area equivalent average particle diameter of greater than 25 nm and a surface energy of less than 28 erg/cm2, as determined by methanol wettability midpoint at 22° C., tacked to the outer surfaces of the resin core particles, at a concentration to provide a total projected area of the first metal oxide particles sufficient to cover at least 10% of the resin core particle outer surfaces area, and wherein the toner composition comprises less than 0.013 g non-tacked surface treatment per square meter of resin core particles outer surface. A developer for developing electrostatic images includes magnetic carrier particles and toner as described above, wherein the developer comprises less than 0.013 g non-tacked surface treatment per square meter of resin core particles outer surface, that is free to transfer between the outer surface of the resin core particles and outer surfaces of the magnetic carrier particles.
