Toner and two-component developer
Provided are a toner and a two-component developer each of which: shows a small fluctuation in charge quantity and a small fluctuation in image density even under a high-temperature and high-humidity environment; and does not cause any member contamination even after endurance and hence can stably output an image. The toner and the two-component developer each have a feature in that positively chargeable strontium titanate fine particles are added to toner particles having fixed thereto negatively chargeable silica fine particles.
MAGNETIC CARRIER, TWO-COMPONENT DEVELOPER, REPLENISHMENT DEVELOPER, AND IMAGE FORMATION METHOD
A magnetic carrier comprising:a magnetic material-dispersed resin carrier core material; and a resin coating layer on the surface of the magnetic material-dispersed resin carrier core material, wherein the magnetic material-dispersed resin carrier core material contains a core material particle containing a magnetic material and a binder resin, and a primer compound having an amino group, the resin coating layer contains a coating resin A, which is a polymer of monomers including at least a (meth)acrylic acid ester having an alicyclic hydrocarbon group, and the content of the primer compound in the magnetic material-dispersed resin carrier core material and the content of the resin coating layer are in specific range.
Aqueous dispersions for use as toners
A compound that includes an aqueous dispersion, wherein the dispersion includes a thermoplastic resin and at least one stabilizing agent, and at least one selected from the group consisting of a colorant and a magnetic pigment, wherein the dispersion has an average volume diameter particle size from about 0.05 to about 10 microns is described.
Magnetic toner
A magnetic toner comprising a toner particle comprising a binder resin and a magnetic body, wherein the binder resin comprises a styrene-acrylic resin, the styrene-acrylic resin comprises a monomer unit represented by Formula (1): ##STR00001## where, in Formula (1), R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and R.sup.2 represents a linear alkyl group having C.sub.B carbon atoms, C.sub.B being an integer from 10 to 15; the magnetic body comprises an alkyl group having C.sub.M carbon atoms, on a surface of the magnetic body, C.sub.M being an integer from 4 to 20; C.sub.B and C.sub.M satisfy Formula (3):
|C.sub.MC.sub.B|10(3), and in a cross-sectional observation of the magnetic toner using a transmission electron microscope, a coefficient of variation of an occupied area ratio of the magnetic body in a specific square grid, is 80.0% or lower.
