ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC TONER, ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC DEVELOPER, AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrophotographic toner in which improved cleanability and reliability such as the prevention of filming on a photoreceptor are realized in a well-balanced state without impairing the high transfer efficiency, high image quality, developing performance and fixability of spherical toner matrix particles containing inorganic fine particles and to provide an electrophotographic developer and an image forming method using the developer. SOLUTION: The electrophotographic toner contains at least toner matrix particles containing white or lemon-yellow inorganic fine particles and having an average shape factor (ML2/A) of 100-130 and non-colored composite particles having a smaller average particle diameter than the toner matrix particles and containing a lubricant. The electrophotographic developer and the image forming method use the toner.
