Claims5
An electrostatic charge image developing toner comprising:
- toner base particles containing a binder resin and a metallic gloss pigment;
- and
- an external additive containing lanthanum-containing strontium titanate particles,
- wherein the lanthanum-containing strontium titanate particles are surface-treated with a coupling agent represented by the following general formula (1):
- X-M(OR)3 (1)
- wherein M represents titanium or silicon,
- X represents an alkyl group having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and
- Rs each independently represent a methyl group or an ethyl group,
- the lanthanum-containing strontium titanate particles surface-treated with the coupling agent have a carbon content of 1.0 to 8.0% by mass,
- the lanthanum-containing strontium titanate particles have a number average primary particle size of 8 to 40 nm, and an amount of the lanthanum-containing strontium titanate particles is 0.05 to 2.0% by mass with respect to an amount of the toner base particles.
