Toner for electrostatic charge development wherein no scumming occurs, and
toner leakage caused by charge defect of the toner on a developing roller
can be inhibited, and an excellent image stability is obtained is
provided.
The toner used for an image forming method having a latent electrostatic
image forming step of forming a latent electrostatic image on a latent
electrostatic image bearing member primarily charged, a developing step
of developing the latent electrostatic image by each toner which multiple
developing devices have to form a toner image on the latent electrostatic
image bearing member, a transferring step of transferring the toner image
with respective colors formed on the latent electrostatic image bearing
member onto a recording material and a fixing step of fixing the toner
image transferred onto the recording material, wherein the toner
comprises a colorant and a resin and contains an organic boron compound
represented by a following chemical formula (A) as a charge controlling
agent, further the toner is treated with an inorganic fine particle and
at least one of the inorganic particles is a magnesium silicate compound
represented by a following general formula [2] is provided.
wherein X is an alkali metal, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 or R.sub.4 each
represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an
alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a halogen atom.
Mg.sub.xSi.sub.yO(.sub.x+2y) [2]
wherein x and y are integers.
