A toner having toner particles containing a binder resin and a colorant;
and a first external additive having 0.1 to 3.0 wt % of large silica
particles with an average particle size of 20 to 200 nm; a second
external additive having 0.1 to 3.0 wt % of small silica particles with
an average particle size of 5 to 20 nm; a third external additive having
0.1 to 2.0 wt % of hydrophobic titanium dioxide microparticles with a
resistance of 105 to 1012 .OMEGA.cm; and a fourth external additive
having at least one of 0.1 to 2.0 wt % of conductive titanium dioxide
particles with a resistance of 1 to 105 .OMEGA.cm and 0.1 to 2.0 wt % of
positively chargeable aluminum oxide particles. Therefore, a thin toner
layer with a uniform toner amount is formed on a toner carrier and stable
charge distribution and toner flowability are maintained for a long time,
thereby resulting in prevention of fog and toner scattering, and
improvements in developing efficiency and toner durability.
