Toner includes aggregated particles including at least resin particles, pigment particles, and wax particles. A fused film of the resin is formed on the surface of the toner. The wax is at least one selected from A: ester wax that has an iodine value of not more than 25, a saponification value of 30 to 300, and an endothermic peak temperature (melting point) of 50.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. based on a DSC method; and B: wax that is obtained by a reaction of alkyl alcohol having a carbon number of 4 to 30, unsaturated polycarboxylic acid or its anhydride, and unsaturated hydrocarbon wax and has an acid value of 1 to 80 mgKOH/g and an endothermic peak temperature (melted point) of 50.degree. C. to 120.degree. C. based on the DSC method. The toner and a two-component developer can achieve oilless fixing that prevents offset without using oil while maintaining high OHP transmittance, can eliminate spent of the toner components on a carrier to make the life longer, and can ensure high transfer efficiency by suppressing transfer voids or scattering during transfer.
