<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress filming of a wax on the surface of a photoreceptor and to decrease its influence on image forming characteristics of the photoreceptor by dispersing a wax as a release agent in a fixing resin and incorporating solid fine particles having a larger average particle size than the average dispersion particle size of the wax. SOLUTION: This toner is prepared by dispersing a wax as a release agent in a fixing resin, and contains solid fine particles having larger average particle size than the average dispersion particle size of the wax. Thereby, the wax together with the solid fine particles are exposed on the surface of the toner. Since the solid fine particles have a larger average particles size than the average dispersion particles size of the wax, the fine particles suppress transition or deposition of the wax onto the surface of a photoreceptor or the like when the wax is in contact with the surface. Thereby, especially, this suppresses filming of the wax on the photoreceptor surface or the like and its influence on image forming characteristics of the photoreceptor.</p> |
