  • Patent number: 4507376
    Abstract: An electrophotographic toner composition having excellent blocking resistance and offset resistance which contains as a resin binder a polymeric rosin compound having a softening point of 50.degree. to 190.degree. C., a glass transition temperature of 10.degree. to 170.degree. C. and a molecular weight of 2,000 to 40,000 prepared by the reaction of (a) a glycidyl ester of rosin, (b) a dicarboxylic acid or its anhydride, and (c) a crosslinking agent selected from the group consisting of a polyfunctional epoxy compound, a polycarboxylic acid having a valency of not less than 3 or its anhydride, and a polyhydric alcohol having a valency of not less than 3. A dihydric alcohol may be used in the above reaction in order to improve the low temperature fixing property of the toner.
