  • Publication number: 20110229811
    Abstract: The invention provides a toner for developing an electrostatic image including toner particles having a shape factor SF1 of 110 or more and including a binder resin, and particles of an external additive that adhere to the toner particles, wherein the particles of the external additive including first particles, and second particles which are adhered to the first particles and have a primary particle size of 0.2 times to 0.5 times as large as that of the first particles, and in an image obtained by observing the particles of the external additive with a microscope, when the projection surface area of the first particle is defined as S1 and the total of the projection surface areas of the second particles which are not hidden by the first particle is defined as S2, S2 being from 0.1 times to 0.5 times as large as S1.
