Abstract
The present invention provides an electrostatic image developing toner containing a binder resin, a colorant and a wax, wherein at least one specific peak or shoulder attributable to a melting point of the wax is present at 55 to 90° C., a dust emission (Dt) of said electrostatic image developing toner satisfies the specific formula, another specific peak or shoulder relating to an endothermic quantity is present at 65.6 to 70.8° C., and an average value of tan δ in a range of an angular velocity of 20 to 100 rad/sec in a dynamic viscoelasticity measurement at 140° C. is from 1.62 to 2.20.
Claims16
An electrostatic image developing toner containing a binder resin, a colorant and a wax, wherein:
- at least one peak or shoulder attributable to a melting point of the wax in the state of being contained in said electrostatic image developing toner is present at 55 to 90° C. in the second elevated temperature process in thermal analysis (DSC),
- a dust emission (Dt) of said electrostatic image developing toner satisfies the following formula (1):
- 60≦Dt≦195,449/Vp−1,040 (1)
- a peak or shoulder where an endothermic quantity in the second elevated temperature process in thermal analysis (DSC) decays to 80% or less of an endothermic quantity in the first elevated temperature process in thermal analysis (DSC) is present at 65.6 to 70.8° C., and
- an average value of tan δ in a range of an angular velocity of 20 to 100 rad/sec in a dynamic viscoelasticity measurement at 140° C. is from 1.62 to 2.20,
- [in formula (1), Dt indicates a dust emission per minute (CPM) when said electrostatic image developing toner is heated, and Vp indicates a printing speed (sheets/min) in terms of A4 short side feed in an image forming device, provided that Vp is 177 or less].
