Abstract

A transparent toner for electrostatic latent image developing, including a binder resin and a release agent, the difference between Tm and Tc being from about 30° C. to about 50° C., wherein Tm is an endothermic peak temperature of the release agent determined in a temperature rising process and Tc is an exothermic peak temperature of the release agent determined in a temperature decreasing process, in a measurement by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) according an ASTM method, and the toner having a weight average molecular weight of from about 35,000 to about 70,000.
