Abstract: The present invention provide a toner for developing an electrostatic image. The toner comprises a binder resin and a coloring agent. The binder resin comprises a styrene type binder resin. The amount of an aldehyde contained in the binder resin is not more than 0.005% by weight based on the weight of the toner. The binder resin is produced by a process comprising the steps of preparing a monomer composition comprising a polymerizable monomer containing at least not less than 50% by weight of a styrene monomer, and a polymerization initiator, and subjecting said monomer composition to suspension polymerization in an aqueous medium having dissolved oxygen in an amount of not more than 2.5 mg/lit to form a styrene polymer or copolymer containing an aldehyde monomer in an amount of not more than 0.01% by weight.

Abstract: A toner for developing electrostatic latent images with a good combination of fixability, anti-offset characteristic, anti-sticking characteristic and pulverizability contains a composition comprising a colorant or magnetic material and a binder resin. The binder resin has 0.1 to 60 wt. % of a chloroform-insoluble or a THF (tetrahydrofuran)-insoluble component and a THF-soluble component, the THF-soluble providing a molecular weight distribution in the chromatogram of GPC (gel permeation chromatography) thereof such that there is a main peak in the molecular weight range of 1,000 to 25,000 and a sub-peak or shoulder in the molecular weight range of 2,000 to 150,000. The binder resin may suitably be obtained through two polymerization steps including a solution polymerization step and a suspension polymerization step.
