TONER FOR DEVELOPING ELECTROSTATIC LATENT IMAGE

Disclosed is a toner for developing an electrostatic latent image, the toner comprising a plurality of toner particles, wherein each toner particle includes: a core particle that contains a binding resin, a coloring agent, and a releasing agent; and an external additive attached to the surface of the core particle, wherein the toner has two endothermic peaks in a heat curve, which is obtained at the time of the secondary temperature rise in differential scanning calorimetry of the toner, and a stepped endothermic curve; and first and second melting temperatures Tm1 and Tm2, which are determined to be the locations of vertices of the two endothermic peaks, a glass transition temperature Tg, which is determined to be the midpoint of a linear portion of the stepped endothermic curve, and first and second heat of melting ”H1 and ”H2, which are determined to be the areas of the two endothermic peaks, satisfy the condition set forth in claim 1. The toner exhibits excellent fixedness, fluidity, stability in charging condition, and developability, and can effectively prevent background contamination of a photoreceptor.
