Abstract: Disclosed herein is a polyester resin-based toner binder which can impart both excellent anti-blocking property under high temperature and humidity conditions and low-temperature fixing properties to a toner. The toner binder for developing electrostatic images includes a polycondensation polyester resin produced in the presence of at least one titanium-containing catalyst (a) represented by the following general formula (I) or (II): Ti(—X)m(—OH)n??(I) O?Ti(—X)p(—OR)q??(II) wherein X is a residue formed by removing H of one OH group from a (poly)alkanolamine having 2 to 12 carbon atoms; R is H or a C1 to C8 alkyl group which may have 1 to 3 ether bonds; m is 1 to 4, n is 0 to 3, and the sum of m and n is 4; and p is 1 to 2, q is 0 to 1, and the sum of p and q is 2 (m, n, p, and q are each an integer).

Abstract: The present invention provides a resin for toner binders, which comprises two polyester resins (A) and (B), said resin (A) being a crosslinked modified polyester resin consisting of the reaction product from a crosslinked polyester resin (a) and a polyepoxide (c) and said resin (B) being an acid anhydride-modified linear polyester resin consisting of the reaction product from a linear polyester resin (b) and an acid anhydride (r).
