Electrostatic-image developing toner, electrostatic image developer, toner cartridge, process cartridge, image-forming apparatus, and method for forming image

Abstract

An electrostatic-image developing toner contains a polyester resin prepared by addition reaction of a polycondensate of a carboxylic acid component and an alcohol component with an isocyanate-containing compound. The polycondensate has an active hydrogen group. The alcohol component includes a rosin diol represented by general formula (1): (wherein R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen or methyl; L1, L2, and L3 are each independently a divalent linking group selected from the group consisting of carbonyl, carboxyl, ether, sulfonyl, optionally substituted linear alkylenes, optionally substituted cyclic alkylenes, optionally substituted arylenes, and combinations thereof; L1 and L2 or L1 and L3 are optionally taken together to form a ring; and A1 and A2 are rosin ester groups).
