TONER FOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHY AND IMAGE-FORMING METHOD

摘要

The present invention provides a toner for electrophotography capable of achieving high color reproducibility in a wide brightness region ranging from high to low brightness. This toner for electrophotography containing a compound represented by general formula (X-1) is characterized in that when the toner image formed exclusively from the toner is at maximum saturation, the hue angle (H) of the toner in a CIE L*a*b* color space is within the range of 341°@H@351°. [Formula 1] (In the formula: one of Rx1 and Rx2 is a methyl group or an ethyl group, while the other represents an alkyl group with C12 or less optionally substituted by a group including an oxygen atom, or a 5- or 6-membered aliphatic ring optionally substituted by a group including an oxygen atom connecting a nitrogen atom and Rx1 and Rx2; and GX2 represents an alkyl group optionally substituted by a group including an oxygen atom.)
