Toner containing magnetite particles

A toner comprising low-silicon magnetites, wherein the low-silicon magnetites have a silicon content of less than 0.025 wt % based on the weight of the magnetite and wherein the magnetites have

• a color tinge a* of −0.5 to 1.5 CIELAB,
• a color tinge b* of −3.0 to −7.0 CIELAB,
• a sphericity of 0.80 to 1.0.
• a coercive force of 30 to 70 oersted,
• a particle size of 0.1 to 1.0 μm,
• a sulfur content of 0.05 to 1.1 wt %, determined as SO3.
• a manganese content of 0.05 to 0.5 wt %,
• a content of water-soluble components of less than 0.2 wt % and a pH of 4.0 to 8.5.
