A toner for non-contacting fusing containing toner matrix particles
containing a resin binder and an external additive having an average
particle size of from 10 to 100 nm, wherein the external additive is
externally added to the toner matrix particles, wherein the resin binder
contains one or more polyesters, wherein a carboxylic acid component of
the polyester contains one or more isophthalic acid compounds and one or
more fumaric acid/maleic acid compounds, wherein the isophthalic acid
compound is contained in an amount of from 10 to 35% by weight, the
fumaric acid/maleic acid compound is contained in an amount of from 1 to
15% by weight, and the isophthalic acid compound and the fumaric
acid/maleic acid compound are contained in a total amount of from 20 to
36% by weight, of a total amount of the entire raw material monomers of
the polyester in the resin binder, and wherein the toner has a softening
point of from 90.degree. to 120.degree. C. The toner is suitably used in
developing latent images formed in, for example, electrophotography, an
electrostatic recording method, an electrostatic printing method, or the
like.
