  • Patent number: 6162572
    Abstract: This invention relates to a toner for electrophotography which develops an electrostatically charged image, the toner at least containing a coloring agent, a binder resin, a charge control agent, and a functioning agent, wherein low molecular weight polyolefin wax obtained by a metallocene type polymerization catalyst is contained as the function imparting agent. The toner of the invention is excellent in fixability, and has offset preventing properties, heat response characteristic, anti-spent toner properties, and storage stability, which can thus obtain a sharp, high quality image.
