Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a toner excellent in durability and storage stability, and having good fixing performance in a wide fixing temperature region even at a high process speed. According to the present invention, there is provided a toner containing: a binder resin; a colorant; and a polyester resin, in which: I) the polyester resin contains at least, as a main component, polyester obtained by subjecting a monomer composition containing an alcohol selected from aliphatic diols each having 2 to 22 carbon atoms and a carboxylic acid selected from aliphatic dicarboxylic acids each having 2 to 22 carbon atoms to a polycondensation reaction; and II) a region having a lamellar structure is present at a surface layer of the toner.

Abstract: The present invention aims at reducing the adverse effect of exhaust gas to the global environment and saving the fuel resources. The combustion temperature is raised by providing means for reducing the air pressure in a combustion equipment of an internal combustion engine.
