Abstract

The present invention provides an electrophotographic dry toner comprising colored resin particles with releasing agent particles dispersed in a binder resin or an electrophotographic dry toner wherein a resin coating layer obtained by the fixation and fusion of encapsulating resin particles is provided on the surface of colored resin particles with releasing agent particles dispersed in a binder. The releasing agent particles dispersed in each colored resin particle have a particle diameter distribution such that the particle diameter of releasing agent particles dispersed in the vicinity of the surface of each colored resin particle is larger than the particle diameter of releasing agent particles at a central site of the colored resin particle. Alternatively, the colored resin particle is coated with the releasing coating layer with a releasing agent layer interposed between them. The electrophotographic dry toner is improved in terms of offset resistance on fixation and durability with no contamination due to filming of process members such as photosensitive materials and developers. The invention also provides a process for the production of a color toner improved in terms of …
