Toner

A toner comprising:

• a toner particle containing a resin component, wherein
• the resin component contains:
• an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and
• at least one copolymer selected from the group consisting of ethylene-acrylic acid copolymers and ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymers;
• the content of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer in the resin component is 50 mass % or more based on the total mass of the resin component;
• and
• the content of the unit derived from vinyl acetate in the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is 3 mass % or more and 35 mass % or less based on the total mass of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.

A method of producing a toner, comprising:

• producing resin fine particles in an aqueous solvent in the presence of a surfactant;
• aggregating the resin fine particles to produce aggregated particles;
• and
• fusing the aggregated particles by heating to produce toner particles, wherein
• the resin fine particles contain a resin component;
• the resin component contains:
• an ester group-containing olefin copolymer, and
• an acid group-containing olefin copolymer;
• the ester group-containing olefin copolymer includes:
• a unit Y1 represented by Formula (1), and
• a unit Y2 composed of at least one member selected from the group consisting of units represented by Formula (2) and units represented by Formula (3);
• the ester group-containing olefin copolymer has an acid value of 10 mg KOH/g or less, and the acid group-containing olefin copolymer has an acid value of 50 mg KOH/g or more and 300 mg KOH/g or less;
• the content of the ester group-containing olefin copolymer in the resin component is 50 mass % or more based on the total mass of the resin component;
• and
• the content of the unit Y2 in the ester group-containing olefin copolymer is 3 mass % or more and 35 mass % or less based on the total mass of the ester group-containing olefin copolymer,
• in Formulae (1) to (3), R1 denotes H or CH3, R2 denotes H or CH3, R3 denotes CH3 or C2H5, R4 denotes H or CH3, and R5 denotes CH3 or C2H5.
