The present invention relates to toners for electrophotography wherein the main resin component comprises a lower molecular weight polymer and a higher molecular weight polymer each of which is different from the other wherein the higher molecular weight polymer has a glass transition point of at least 50.degree. C. and the lower molecular weight polymer has a glass transition point no higher than 65.degree. C. The above polymers comprise one or more polymers selected from styrene polymers, arcylic polymers, and styrene-acrylic copolymers. Generally, the lower molecular weight polymer has a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 or less and the higher molecular weight polymer has a weight average molecular weight of 80,000 or more.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
Toner for developing an electrostatic latent image, comprising a binder resin and a coloring agent being dispersed therein, said binder resin comprising, as the main resin component, a lower molecular weight polymer ingredient and a higher molecular weight polymer ingredient, each of which polymer ingredients are respectively composed of one or more polymers selected from a group consisting of a styrene polymer, an acrylic polymer and a stylene-acrylic copolymer but are different from each other, provided that said lower molecular weight polymer ingredient and said higher molecular weight polymer ingredient have a glass transition point of 50.
degree.
C.
or over and 65.
degree.
C.
or under respectively, while said main resin component as a whole has a glass transition point of 50.
degree.
C.
or over.
2.
The toner according to claim 1, wherein the ratio of the weight average molecular weight of said main resin component to the number average molecular weight thereof is 3.
5 or more.
3.
The toner according to claim 1, wherein said lower molecular weight polymer ingredient and said higher molecular weight polymer ingredient have a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 or less and 80,000 or more, respectively.




Description:
The present invention relates to toner that is used for development from electrostatic latent images formed by electrophotography, electrostatic printing, electrostatic recording, etc.
Generally, toner that is a kind of fine grained binder resin loaded with a coloring agent, etc.
is used to develop visible toner images from electrostatic latent images.
Toner images thus developed must be fixed on their base.
Various fixing methods are known for this purpose, among which, particularly, the contact type heat fixing method that uses a hot roll fixing device or the like is preferable, for it is superior to the noncontact type heat fixing method that uses a hot plate fixing device or the like because of a higher thermal efficiency of the former and, particularly, it provides a highspeed fixing performance
