Abstract
A toner for dry electrophotography comprises a binder resin, a metal complex compound (A) of an aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acid having a lipophilic group, and a metal complex salt-type monoazo dye (B) having a hydrophilic group. The compound (A) functions to enhances the negative triboelectric chargeability of the toner, and the dye (B) functions to leak an excessive charge of the toner, so that the toner is caused to have a uniform and sharp triboelectric charge distribution. As a result, the toner involves little liability of causing 'tailing', an irregularity caused by undesirable toner scattering.
