Patent attributes
A toner having a toner particle containing a binder resin and a crystalline material, wherein when “a” is an endothermic quantity deriving from the crystalline material in a DSC of the toner and “b” is an endothermic quantity deriving from the crystalline material in a DSC of the toner that has been held for 10 hours in an environment with a temperature of 55° C. and a humidity of 8% RH, the “a” and “b” satisfy a relationship a/b≥0.85; in a dynamic viscoelastic measurement of a non-melt-molded pellet of the toner, the toner has a temperature range A for which G″≤1×105 Pa and tan δ<1 are satisfied; and in a dynamic viscoelastic measurement of a melt-molded pellet of the toner, the toner has a temperature range B for which tan δ>1 is satisfied within the temperature range A.
