Toner for developing electrostatic latent image, process for producing the same, and process for forming image

A process for producing a toner for developing an electrostatic latent image comprising the steps of:

• mixing by agitating (1) a binder resin particle dispersion comprising a crystalline resin and (2) an aggregated particle stabilizer dispersion comprising at least one compound which is selected from (A) an ester compound having an alkyl group having from 6 to 32 carbon atoms and (B) a resin having a contact angle with water that is smaller than that of the crystalline resin to prepare an aggregated particle dispersion containing the binder resin particles;
• and
• heating the aggregated particle dispersion to a temperature higher than a melting point of the crystalline resin to form toner particles,
• wherein the toner satisfies the following equation (1):
• 0≦|log GL(Tm+20)−log GL(Tm+50)|≦1.5 (1)
• wherein Tm represents a melting point of the toner, GL(Tm+20) represents a storage elastic modulus at Tm+20° C., and GL(Tm+50) represents a storage elastic modulus at Tm+50° C.,
• and the following equation (2):
• 0≦|log GN(Tm+20)−log GN(Tm°50)|≦1.5 (2)
• wherein GN(Tm+20) represents a loss elastic modulus at Tm+20° C., and GN(Tm+50) represents a loss elastic modulus at Tm+50° C.
