Color toner, an electrostatic latent image developer and full-color image forming method for developing an electrostatic latent image

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an electrostatic latent image developing toner giving good thin line reproducibility, good gradation and good graininess of a highlight part, capable of attaining image quality comparable to or higher than that by offset printing, excellent also in cleanability and suitable particularly for developing a digital latent image, to obtain an electrostatic latent image developer and to provide a full-color image forming method using the developer. SOLUTION: The electrostatic latent image developing toner comprises colored particles contg. at least a bonding resin and a colorant. The volume average particle diameter of the colored particles is 2.0-5.0 μ, colored particles of =1.0 μm account for =20% by number and colored particles of 5.0 μm account for =10% by number. The colorant is pigment particles. The toner is preferably used as the toner of a two-component electrostatic latent image developer.
