Abstract
A toner for electrophotography comprising a resin binder comprising as its main components (a) a crystalline polyester having a softening point of from 85° to 150° C., obtainable by polycondensing an alcohol component which comprises 80% by mol or more of an aliphatic diol having 2 to 6 carbon atoms and a carboxylic acid component which comprises 80% by mol or more of fumaric acid; and (b) an amorphous polyester and/or an amorphous polyester-polyamide, obtainable by polycondensing monomers comprising 50% by weight or more of an aromatic compound, wherein a weight ratio of the crystalline polyester to the amorphous polyester and/or the amorphous polyester-polyamide, i.e. crystalline polyester/(amorphous polyester and/or amorphous polyester-polyamide), is from 1/99 to 50/50.
