TONER, DEVELOPER, TONER STORAGE UNIT, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD

To provide a toner that achieves both low temperature fixability and heat-resistant storage property, prevents dirt on a cleaning member and a photoreceptor, and has excellent electrification stability.SOLUTION: A toner according to the present invention is a toner in which a plurality of resin fine particles and inorganic external additives are present on a surface of a toner base particle containing a binder resin, a colorant, and wax. The coverage of the resin fine particle is 30% to 70%. The inorganic external additive covers a surface of an oxide of a metal element with a hydroxide of the metal element.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】低温定着性と耐熱保存性を両立し、クリーニング部材及び感光体の汚染を抑制すると共に、優れた帯電安定性を有するトナーを提供する。【解決手段】本発明に係るトナーは、結着樹脂、着色剤及びワックスを含有するトナー母体粒子の表面に樹脂微粒子及び無機外添剤が複数存在しているトナーであって、前記樹脂微粒子の被覆率が、３０％～７０％であり、前記無機外添剤が、金属元素の酸化物の表面を金属元素の水酸化物で被覆している。【選択図】なし
