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 provided. The toner contains
polyester-based resin as a main resin component, and the acid value of
the toner is 8.0 KOHmg/g or less. 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.
