A toner for electrostatic image development containing (a) a toner matrix
particle containing a resin binder, and (b) an external additive added to
the toner matrix particles, wherein the resin binder contains a polyester
A obtained by polycondensing an alcohol component and a carboxylic acid
component containing isophthalic acid and/or an ester thereof, and
wherein the external additive contains fine silica particles containing a
metal or a metal oxide; and A method of forming fixed images including
the step of applying the toner for electrostatic image development to an
image-forming apparatus according to a non-contact fusing method. The
toner for electrostatic image development of the present invention is
suitably used in developing latent images formed in, for example,
electrophotography, an electrostatic recording method, an electrostatic
printing method, or the like.
