    摘要: A toner includes toner particles containing a crystalline organic material that contains a crystalline vinyl resin as an essential component and a crystalline polyester and a wax component as optional components. A total of the crystalline vinyl resin, crystalline polyester, and wax component with respect to the toner particles is 10.0 to 90.0 mass %. The crystalline vinyl resin contains a crystalline resin A having (i) units A and (ii) units B. The toner particles contain 0.0020 to 0.0500 mass % of a metal that can form a complex with an acetylacetonate moiety in a unit B of the crystalline resin A with respect to a mass of the toner particles. The acetylacetonate moiety of at least one of the units B in the crystalline resin A forms a complex with the metal. In the crystalline resin A, a content of the unit B is 0.50 to 10.0 mass %.

    摘要: Provided is toner which has good low-temperature fixability, shelf stability and hot offset resistance, and which suppresses a decrease in glossiness of an image. The toner comprising colored resin particles containing a binder resin, a colorant, a softening agent and a charge control agent, and an external additive, wherein a glass transition temperature (Tg) specified from a temperature dependence curve of a loss tangent (tan δ) obtained by dynamic viscoelastic measurement of the toner, is 50° C. or more and less than 90° C.; the loss tangent (tan δ) at the glass transition temperature (Tg) is 1.70 or less; in a temperature range of 90° C. or more and 160° C. or less, a lowest temperature (Ta) with a loss tangent of 1.50 is more than 95° C. and less than 145° C.; and a storage elastic modulus (G′) at the lowest temperature (Ta) is less than 56000 Pa.
