Abstract:
Provided is an electrostatic charge image developing toner producing neither halftone image unevenness nor density drop of solid images, even though a large number of print sheets are printed at high temperature and high humidity, and subsequently printing is further carried out at high temperature and high humidity after standing for a long time. Disclosed is an electrostatic charge image developing toner containing 3-10% by weight of at least one metal fluoride selected from the group consisting of sodium fluoride, magnesium fluoride, calcium fluoride, barium fluoride and aluminum fluoride, based on a total weight of the toner.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a toner for electrostatic image development that satisfies both low-temperature fixing ability and excellent high-temperature storage stability, achieves excellent charge property and shatter resistance, and consequently can form a high-quality image even by a high-performance machine such as a high-speed machine.The toner is composed of toner particles obtained by forming a shell layer containing a styrene-acryl-modified polyester resin on the surface of each of core particles comprising a binder resin containing at least a styrene-acrylic resin. The styrene-acryl-modified polyester resin is obtained bonding a styrene-acrylic polymer segment to a terminal of a polyester segment, and the content of the styrene-acrylic polymer segment in the styrene-acryl-modified polyester resin is 5% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less.
