Toner for electrostatic latent image development and method of producing toner for electrostatic latent image development

A toner for electrostatic latent image development, comprising a colorant, a charge control agent, and a release agent in a binder resin and not comprising a magnetic powder, the toner being produced using a pulverizing process, wherein

• the charge control agent is a quaternary ammonium salt,
• the release agent is a carnauba wax,
• the binder resin is a polyester resin obtained by a method comprising:
• obtaining a reaction mixture by reacting (A) propylene oxide adduct of bisphenol A, (B) ethylene oxide adduct of bisphenol A, (C) dodecenyl succinic anhydride, and (D) terephthalic acid in the presence of (E) dibutyltin oxide at a mass ratio (A)/(B)/(C)/(D)/(E) of 1960/780/257/770/4 at 235° C. for 8 hours,
• further reacting the reaction mixture under a reduced pressure of 8.3 kPa at 235° C. for 1 hour,
• adjusting the acid number of the reaction mixture after reacting at the reduced pressure by adding trimellitic anhydride thereto at 180° C.,
• raising the temperature of the reaction mixture after adding the trimellitic anhydride at a rate of 10° C./hr. up to 210° C., and still further reacting the reaction mixture to complete the reaction, and
• cooling the reaction mixture after the reaction is complete to obtain the polyester resin,
• an average circularity of toner particles is 0.960 or more and 0.980 or less with respect to toner particles having a primary particle diameter of 3 μm or more and 10 μm or less, and
• a numerical proportion of toner particles, having a concave portion of which outer diameter is 200 nm or more, is 10% by number or less, in which 100 by number of the toner particles are observed using a scanning electron microscope and the outer diameter is measured from an image of the scanning electron microscope.
