Color toner, electrostatic latent image delelopment, image forming method, and image producing device

摘要

The present invention discloses a color toner providing highly gloss image and documents with excellent long term storability; an electrostatic latent image developer; and an image forming method. Disclosed is a color toner comprising a binder resin and colorant, wherein the weight average molecular weight of the binder resin is from 6000 to 45000, the toner's glass transition temperature (Tg) is from 40 to 70° C., the loss tangent tan delta of dynamic viscoelasticity is from 0.1 to 2.5 in the temperature of from the toner's glass transition temperature (Tg) to the temperature at which the loss modulus (G'') is 1x10<5 >Pa, and the toner comprises 3 to 20% by mass of an ester derivative of an alicyclic compound having 1 or more carboxyl groups, and an electrostatic latent image developer and an image forming method, which use the color toner.
