Transparent toner, developer including same, gloss-providing unit and image forming device

摘要

A transparent toner to be used for a transparent toner image formed with a color toner image, wherein a thermoplastic resin constituting the transparent toner is made of a resin obtained by melt-mixing a crystalline polyester resin and an amorphous resin under the conditions such that supposing that T0 (° C.) is the temperature at which the visual reflectance Y of 20 mum thick film formed by the resin obtained by melt-mixing the crystalline polyester resin and the amorphous resin for a period of time t0 (minute) is 1.5%, the melt-mixing temperature is T (° C.) and the melt-mixing time is t (minute), T (° C.) is predetermined to be from T0 to (T0+30), t (minute) is predetermined to be from t0 to (10xt0) and the temperature Talpha at which the viscosity of the thermoplastic resin is 10³ Pa.s is from 70° C. to 110° C.
