A toner having high mechanical strength and being capable of exhibiting a
sufficient fixing property in a wide temperature range is provided.
Further, a fixing device and an image forming apparatus in which such a
toner can be suitably used are also provided. The toner contains
polyester-based resin as a main resin component. The polyester-based
resin includes block polyester mainly composed of a block copolymer, and
amorphous polyester having crystallinity lower than that of the block
polyester. The block polyester has a crystalline block obtained by the
condensation of a diol component with a dicarboxylic acid component, and
an amorphous block having crystallinity lower than that of the
crystalline block. The compounding ratio between the block polyester and
the amorphous polyester is in the range of 5:95 to 45:55 in weight ratio.
