TONER, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide toner which enables high-speed fixing by using a thermal fixing system and has sufficient fixability without occurrence of a high-temperature offset and low-temperature offset, an image forming method and image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: The toner is used for the image forming method having a fixing step of passing a recording material with an unfixed toner image formed through a fixing nip section formed by pressurized contact of a metallic sleeve for heating with a pressurizing member, thereby fixing the unfixed toner image onto the recording material. The toner contains at least a binder resin, colorant, and wax, in which a loss tangent tanδin a range from 1x104to 1x106Pa of a loss modulus G" is 1.0 to 2.0 and a loss tangent tanδat 1x103Pa of the loss modulus G" is 0.5 to 1.0.
