DECOLORIZABLE TONER, TONER CARTRIDGE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, DECOLORIZING SYSTEM, DECOLORIZING METHOD, AND DECOLORIZING DEVICE
A decolorizable toner allows for easy distinguishing between a sheet which can be reused and a sheet which is hardly able to be reused from each other. The decolorizable toner includes a color developable compound, a color developing agent, a decolorizing agent, a magnetic material, and a binder resin. The color developable compound is a precursor compound of a dye. The color developing agent is an electron accepting compound which donates a proton to the color developable compound. The decolorizing agent is a compound which inhibits a coloring reaction between the color developable compound and the color developing agent.
