| 20100233607 | Toner for Developing Electrostatic Images and Process for Producing the Toner - A toner for developing electrostatic images which is obtained by melt mixing at least a binder resin and a coloring agent, forming a powder material by pulverizing the obtained mixture after cooling and removing rough particles and fine particles from the formed powder material by classification, wherein inorganic fine particles having a roundness of 1.00 to 1.30, an average of the diameter of primary particles of 0.05 to 0.45 μm and a ratio of a standard deviation to the average of the diameter of primary particles of 0.25 or smaller are added as an external additive, and a process for producing a toner for developing electrostatic images which comprises melt mixing at least a binder resin and a coloring agent, forming a powder material by pulverizing the obtained mixture after cooling, rounding the powder material by a heat treatment and adding the above inorganic fine particles to the rounded powder material. By using the toner, printed images of a high quality can be formed with an excellent transfer rate, suppressed contamination of the charge roller, minimal background and small consumption of the toner. | 09-16-2010 |
