Abstract

The charge control agent comprises aggregate particles including an azo-type iron complex salt represented by the following chemical formula [VI](in the chemical formula [VI], B+ is (H+)x(Na+) 1−x and x is mole ratio and 0.6 to 0.9, or B+ is (H+)y(Na+)1−y and y is mole ratio and 0 to 0.2) and the aggregate particles have 0.5 to 5.0 microns of an average particle size. A toner for developing an electrostatic image comprises a resin for the toner and the charge control agent. An image formation process of electrophotography comprises a step for developing an electrostatic latent image on an electrostatic latent image frame by a developer including the toner.
