Abstract: A toner is comprised of toner particles and external additive adhering to the surface of the toner particles. The toner particles are formed from a binder resin, an ester wax, and a colorant. The external additive comprises a titanium oxide and silica. A first adhesive strength between the external additive and the toner base particles is in a range of 90 to 100% when measured as a ratio of X-ray spectroscopic intensity of titanium for toner particles before and after a washing process, and a second adhesive strength between the external additive and the toner base particles is in a range of 50 to 80% when measured as a ratio of X-ray spectroscopic intensity of silicon measured for toner before and after another washing process.

Abstract: A toner according to an embodiment includes toner base particles and an external additive. The external additive contains silica particles having a D50 of 70 to 120 nm. The joining degree of the silica particles is 80% or more. The toner base particles contain a crystalline polyester resin and an ester wax. The ester wax is a condensation polymer of three or more types of carboxylic acids and two or more types of alcohols. The proportion of a carboxylic acid, the content of which is highest, is between 70 and 95 mass %. The proportion of a carboxylic acid with a carbon number of 18 or less is 5 mass % or less. The proportion of an alcohol, the content of which is highest, is between 70 and 90 mass %. The proportion of an alcohol with a carbon number of 18 or less is 20 mass % or less.
