Toner

Abstract

A toner includes toner particles each containing a binder resin, a colorant, and a carboxy-containing styrene-based resin, in which the toner particles are produced in an aqueous medium, each of the toner particles has a styrene-acrylic-based resin component content of 50.0% by mass or more, cyclohexane-insoluble matter A obtained by subjecting the toner to Soxhlet extraction with cyclohexane for 4 hours is 70.0% by mass or more, and cyclohexane-insoluble matter B obtained by subjecting the toner to Soxhlet extraction with cyclohexane for 24 hours is 40.0% by mass or less, and wherein when the z-average molecular weight and the weight-average molecular weight of tetrahydrofuran-soluble matter of the carboxy-containing styrene-based resin determined by gel permeation chromatography measurement are represented by Mz and Mw, respectively, Mz and Mw satisfy the following expressions: 10,000≦Mw≦30,000, and 1.62≦Mz/Mw≦5.00.
