Abstract

An electrophotographic toner comprising a binder resin and a colorant dispersed therein wherein the binder resin comprises about 50 to 95% by weight of a low temperature melting, high fluidity resin having a number average molecular weight of about 1,000 to 4,000, a glass transition temperature of about 40.degree. to 60.degree. C. and a melt index at 110.degree. C. of about 50 to 200 g/10 min or a mixture thereof, and about 5 to 50% by weight of a high molecular weight polymer having a glass transition temperature of about 35.degree. to 60.degree. C. and a weight average molecular weight of more than about 500,000.
