Claims16
A toner for developing electrostatic latent image comprising a binder resin and a coolant, wherein the toner comprises a crystalline compound, and exhibits at least one recrystallization peak in a second heating process on the DSC curve of said toner, and wherein the crystalline compound is that represented by formula (1),
- (1):
- R1—(OCO—R2)n
- wherein R1 represents a hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 80 carbon atoms, which may have a substituent, or a group represented by formula of (LK1—X—LK2)m-, wherein LK1 and LK2 represent a hydrocarbon group, which may have a substituent, and LK1 and LK2 may be same or different, m is a natural number of 1 or more, X represents O or —OCO—, R2 represents a hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 80 carbon atoms, which may have a substituent, and n represents an integer of 1 to 15.
The toner of claim 3, wherein R1 and R2 each represents a hydrocarbon group.
