Abstract

A toner is provided that can maintain high transferability even in long-term image output, can maintain high chargeability even in a high temperature and high humidity environment, and rarely causes fogging due to charging failure. The toner contains toner particles produced by a suspension polymerization method or a dissolution suspension method. The volume-average particle diameter (Dv) of silica particles is 50 nm or more and 800 nm or less. The mass loss rate due to heating of the silica particles from 105° C. to 200° C. is 0.60% or less. The hydrophobicity of the silica particles is 5% or more and less than 40%.
