A toner having a negative triboelectric chargeability is constituted by at least a binder resin, a colorant and an organic metal compound. The toner is characterized by: (a) the organic metal compound is an organic zirconium compound comprising a coordination or/and a bonding of zirconium and an aromatic compound as a ligand or/and an acid source selected from the group consisting of aromatic diols, aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acids, aromatic monocarboxylic acids, and aromatic polycarboxylic acids, (b) the binder resin is a resin selected from the group consisting of (i) a polyester resin and (ii) a hybrid resin component comprising a polyester unit and a vinyl polymer unit, (c) the binder resin has an acid value of 2 - 50 mgKOH/g, and (d) the toner contains a TFT (tetrahydrofuran)-soluble content providing a GPC (gel permeation chromatography) chromatogram exhibiting a main peak in a molecular weight range of 3,000 - 20,000 and including 3 - 25 % of a component having molecular weights of at least 5x10<5>. <IMAGE> |
