Abstract

The present invention provides an electrophotographic toner, particularly with a good transferability and a good flowability, which comprises a binder resin and a coloring agent, the binder resin containing a lactone-modified epoxy resin, obtained by subjecting all or a portion of secondary hydroxyl groups of epoxy compounds having hydroxyl groups in the molecules to ring opening polymerization of lactone. The present invention further provides an electrophotographic toner with a good transferability, a good flowability and a good offset resistance and also with a fixability of transferred images, which comprises a binder resin and a coloring aent, the binder resin containing: PA1 (1) a lactone-modified epoxy resin, obtained by subjecting all or a portion of secondary hydroxyl groups of epoxy compounds having hydroxy groups in the molecules to ring opening polymerization of lactone, PA0 (2) styrene-butadiene rubber, and PA0 (3) polyester resin.
