Toner, toner production method, and image-forming method

Abstract

A toner comprising a toner particle, the toner particle comprising a binder resin, wherein the toner particle comprises a monoester wax, and a fatty acid metal salt A is present on a surface of the toner particle, when X(A) is defined as a coverage ratio of the surface of the toner particle by the fatty acid metal salt A, as determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and S(A) is defined as the coverage ratio of the surface of the toner particle by the fatty acid metal salt A, as determined by analysis of a scanning electron microscope image, the formulae below are satisfied: S ⁡ ( A ) ≥ 0.03 ( 1 ) X ⁡ ( A ) ≤ 0.25 ( 2 ) 0.248 ≤ S ⁡ ( A ) / X ⁡ ( A ) ≤ 1. .
