At least one of the different types of toner particles contains a toner resin with at least one reactive group A and the plasticizer carries at least one reactive group B and when the plasticiser is applied to the toner image, the reactive group A reacts with reactive group B and forms a chemical bond between the toner image and the plasticiser.
