Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0716350A2] A toner for developing electrostatic images includes (a) toner particles having a weight-average particle size of 1 - 9 mu m, (b) hydrophobized inorganic fine powder having an average particle size of 10 - 90 nm and (c) hydrophobized silicon compound fine powder. The hydrophobized silicon compound fine powder has an average particle size of 5 - 30 nm, and a particle size distribution such that it contains 15 - 45 % by number of particles having sizes of 5 - 30 nm, 30 - 70 % by number of particles having sizes of 30 - 60 nm and 5 - 45 % by number of particles having sizes of at least 60 nm. The hydrophobized silicon compound fine powder having a broad particle size distribution including coarse particles functions to prevent the embedding of the hydrophobized inorganic fine powder (functioning as a flowability improver) from being embedded at the toner particle surfaces, whereby the toner is allowed to exhibit stable performances even in a continuous image formation on a large number of sheets.
