Abstract
A toner for developing an electrostatic latent image on a photoreceptor, wherein the toner includes particles, and wherein the particles of the toner having particle diameters within a range of D.+-.d and measured in .mu.m, wherein d.ltoreq.2 .mu.m, have an average non-electrostatic adhesion force Fne(D) and measured in nN against the photoreceptor, and wherein a proportional factor K of a primary regression line of a diagram in which the toner particle diameter D is plotted on the horizontal axis and the non-electrostatic adhesion force Fne(D) is plotted on the vertical axis, is from 0.01 nN/.mu.m to 5 nN/.mu.m.
